Hotels near Church of St. Anne

The Church of St. Anne is one of the finest examples of Flamboyant Gothic architecture in the Baltics and one of Lithuania's most photographed buildings. Legend has it that Napoleon wanted to carry it back to Paris in the palm of his hand. The intricate red-brick facade, with its soaring pointed arches and delicate tracery, is mesmerising from every angle. The adjacent Bernardine Church and Garden complete a stunning architectural ensemble. Free entry.

Pro Tip: The best photograph of the church is from the Bernardinai Garden side, with the Vilnele river in the foreground. Visit in late afternoon for warm golden light on the red brick.
