The Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul was begun in 1410 in the Gothic style and has been altered several times over the centuries following war and fire damage. Its valuable furnishings reflect the prosperity of the trading town, particularly in the Baroque period. The Sacrament Chapel was added in 1895. In 1921 the church was given the status of a minor basilica. When the Archbishopric of Kaunas was established in 1926, it became its cathedral.

Even though it is currently being partially renovated, the interior is extremely impressive. Well worth seeing!
