About this event
MB "Kauno gidas" cordially invites you to a tour of the former Camaldolese monastery in Pažaislis, which is considered one of the most beautiful Baroque ensembles in the Baltic states!
Let's get to know Kaunas together!
The mysterious allure of the Pažaislis Camaldolese Monastery and the Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary has long stirred people's imaginations. The monastery was founded in the second half of the 17th century by Kristupas Zigmantas Pacas, Chancellor of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Construction of the monastery began in 1667. The hill on which the building was planned was named MontePacis (Mount of Peace).
Today, the monastery boasts a history spanning more than three centuries, shrouded in legends, and charms visitors with its exceptional Baroque appearance and the colorful environment surrounding it. During the tour, we will visit the Pažaislis Monastery and church. The guide will talk about the Camaldolese monks and other masters of the monastery, about its founders and the most famous craftsmen of the time who worked here, and will reveal the secrets of the frescoes.
