The beautiful St. Casimir's Church is one of the most interesting churches that you can visit in the capital city of Lithuania. Touted as one of the main attractions in Vilnius, the church got its name from the patron saint of the country, Prince Casimir Jagiellon. Having been founded by the Jesuits in the year 1604, the church is known to be the oldest Baroque-style religious structure in the city. Near Vilnius accomodations, it is as frequently visited as the other splendid churches in Vilnuis, among which are the Church of St. Anne, St. Catherine's Church, St. Nicholas' Church and St. Peter's and St. Paul's Church. Just ask your Vilnius hotel for a tour.

The St. Casimir's Church, however venerated it now is, was not spared by abuse and persecution in the past. The church, which can be accessed from most of the major hotels in Vilnius, was made into a grain store in the year 1812 by the troops of Napoleon. Some twenty years after this, it was converted by the Russians into an Orthodox Church and into a cathedral in 1864. The Germans made it into a Protestant temple between the years 1915 and 1917. However, it was the Soviets who made more shocking use of the church. They converted it into an Atheist Museum.
