Summary edit

Description

Founded by the Jesuits and dedicated to St. Casimir, construction of the church began in 1604. Povilas Bokša, the assistant provincial and Jan Prockowicz, a Jesuit architect oversaw the work. The church was finished and consecrated in 1635. It burned down in 1655, when the Russian army entered Vilnius. The church was twice more destroyed by fire in 1707 and 1749.

During the Second World War it suffered greatly and was closed. In 1961 it opened as a museum about atheism, and continued to be used as such until 1988. In 1989 the church was returned to the Catholic Church.
