St. Theresa's Church and the Discalced Carmelite Cloister

Vilnius - Lithuania


You can see, in the background, one of the most perfect early baroque buildings of Vilnius.
The graceful and tall St. Theresa's Church.
It was built during 1633 - 1650 at the initiative of Deputy Chancellor Steponas Pacas
and at his expense.
The Discalced Carmelites of Vilnius brewed beer which was famous throughout the city
and made candles as well.
The cloister supported lay medical students and took care of the elderly and orphans.
