The Church of St. Michael the Archangel in Kaunas, Lithuania, is a prominent Neo-Byzantine style Roman Catholic church located at the end of the city's main pedestrian thoroughfare, Laisvės Alėja. Constructed between 1891 and 1895 during the period of Russian rule, it originally served as an Orthodox church for the Russian military garrison stationed in Kaunas. The church is notable for its large, striking dome and intricate architectural details. Following Lithuania's independence, the church was consecrated as a Catholic place of worship.
