The Church of Vytautas the Great in Kaunas, Lithuania, is a prominent historical and architectural landmark. Constructed in the early 15th century, it is one of the oldest brick Gothic buildings in the country. Commissioned by Grand Duke Vytautas the Great, the church originally served as a place of worship for the Franciscan order and was later dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Over the centuries, it has withstood numerous hardships, including fires, wars, and floods, but has been meticulously restored to preserve its historical and cultural significance.
