Why Christ's Resurrection Church matters
The church stands on a hill above the city and is bold in a way that few churches are. Designed in a modernist style and built as a thanksgiving for Lithuanian independence, it was long used for other purposes under Soviet rule and was later returned to the church. Take the funicular up from the lower town and enjoy the view from the roof terrace.
