What you can expect

One of the most visited sites in Kaunas, this architectural gem holds a fascinating 170-year legacy of the Camaldolese monks.

We will walk through the monastery and the church, tracing the footsteps of the Italian masters who built it and the Camaldolese monks who lived here in silence and prayer. You will hear the captivating 170-year history of the order, learning about their unique traditions, the founder's legacy, and how this place survived the changing tides of history to become the most visited site in Kaunas today.

We will explore the breathtaking church and monastery complex, but we won't just look at the surface. We will dive into the deep symbolism of Baroque art. You will learn why the church was built in a rare hexagonal shape, how it connects to the founder’s coat of arms, and how the Italian masters used optical illusions to open the ceiling to the heavens.

From the dramatic frescoes to the “Memento Mori” reminders of the fleeting nature of life, this tour will reveal the hidden messages built into the very walls of this sacred place. Come and experience the beauty, the silence, and the stories of Pažaislis.
