Central chapel of the Rossa cemetery in Vilnius

Vilnius | Lithuania

Central chapel of the Ross Cemetery - burials of January 1863-1864 insurgents, moved from Gediminas Hill.
In Old Rossa, in the centre of the oldest part of the cemetery, there is a neo-Gothic pre-burial chapel, built in the years 1841-1850. The construction of this brick chapel began on the initiative of Father Jozef Bohdanowicz, the last visitator of the missionary priests, and was completed by Jan Waszkiewicz, professor of political economy at Vilnius University. It was designed by the architect Tomasz Tyszecki in neo-Gothic style.
