About Church of St. Michael the Archangel, Kaunas

St. Michael the Archangel's Church (Lithuanian: Švento Arkangelo Mykolo Bažnyčia; Russian: Церковь Святого Михаила Архангела), also known as the Garrison Church, is a Roman Catholic church in the city of Kaunas, Lithuania, closing the perspective of the Laisvės alėja, the main pedestrian street. It was built between 1891 and 1895 when Kaunas was part of the Russian Empire, in Neo-Byzantine style largely for the use of the Russian Orthodox garrison of Kaunas Fortress.
