DescriptionCatholic Church of St. Bartholomew Vilnius (5993949478).jpg
Little Šv. Baltramiejaus (Saint Bartholomew’s) Church stands on the bank of the Vilnia river in Užupis.
The newly-constructed church was the victim of a fire during a war with Muscovy. In 1778 an oratory was built by the monks to a design by architect Martynas Knakfusas (Martin Knackfuss). This was later converted into a church by Fr Augustinas Stodolnikas in 1823–1824. This church still survives, having had a steeple added in 1881.
However it was closed by the Soviet occupation régime in 1949 and converted into a sculpture workshop. In 1997 Šv. Baltramiejaus (Saint Bartholomew’s) Church was presented to the Belarussian Catholic community of Vilnius.
