Snap StoriesSt. Anne’s Church, Vilnius, Lithuania (part 2 of 2)
The interior of the church, although the church itself is a gem of Flamboyant Gothic with an extraordinary, lace-like façade made from 33 types of bricks, does not match the originality and finesse of its façade. It is a single-nave church, and much of its interior decoration dates back to the early 20th century, when a comprehensive renovation was carried out. The altars in the church are in the Baroque style, which does not entirely harmonize with the Gothic architecture of the temple. The main altar contains the painting of St. Anne the Mother of the Virgin (St. Anne Samotrzeć), and the side altars and furnishings such as the organ case, pulpit, and confessionals come from the time of this renovation. In the side aisles, there are also preserved Gothic frescoes and crystal and net vaults, which are a unique heritage of sacred art from the early 16th century.
Although the interior of the church is less impressive than the façade, it is nevertheless a valuable sanctuary of Gothic art with Baroque elements and testifies to the long history of its use and evolving decoration.
