| Description: | The present classical view of the church is the result of design by the prominent architect Laurynas Stuoka- Gucevicius (the end of the 18th century). The main facade is especially magnificent, decorated with columns, with a high relief of "Noah's Offering" depicted in its pediment. In the front, there is the monument to the founder of Vilnius - Grand Duke Gediminas. |
