Hiking

Another highlight is the Kaunas Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul. It is the largest building in the Old Town and has been the basilica of the Cardinal of Lithuania since 1921. The church was built in the Gothic architectural style and features a Baroque high altar depicting the crucifixion scene of Jesus. Worth seeing is the sacristy with its cross vault or the 17th-century Neo-Gothic wood-carved chapel.

The Peter and Paul Cathedral is the episcopal church of the second largest city. It is a three-aisled brick basilica, inside baroque.

Hiking

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!
