Church of the Holy Spirit in Vilnius

The Church of the Holy Spirit in Vilnius is a temple with an extremely rich history. The first church was built in 1323. Destroyed in a fire, it was rebuilt in 1409 by Grand Duke Vytautas. The stone Gothic church was rebuilt by order of Alexander Jagiellon in 1501. It was then handed over to the Dominicans. Destroyed many times in fires, it was rebuilt and gained its present shape, designed by Jan Krzysztof Glaubitz, in 1770. According to local tradition, several thousand dead are buried in the basement of the temple, the so-called Kingdom of the Dead. In 2022, a non-invasive geophysical survey combined with laser scanning was commissioned.
