Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We came to visit the church (given how much Napoleon loved it), and while it was lovely from the outside, we couldn’t visit the inside. It looked like the door from the nearby Benedictine church was locked. Still, the exterior is quite striking and a great example of brick Gothic architecture.

St. Anne's Church is graceful and light. It is very different from other pompous baroque churches in Vilnius. It's not that I don't like baroque, on the contrary, I quietly love it, but St. Anne is something. Well, probably everyone knows the legend about Napoleon, but the fact that the church is Gothic in its style, and the execution technique is already Renaissance and two eras are closely intertwined in it, is probably not known to many. The church was built in the 1500s, which is probably why it was the product of a mixture of two beautiful architectural styles.

Church of particular charm for its very beautiful Gothic external facade made with the classic red bricks of these areas (in reality it would seem that 33 different types of bricks were used for its construction).
The design of the facade recalls the Lofo of Lithuania.
The interior disappoints the expectations generated by the exterior: in fact it is almost anonymous, in the sense that it does not recall the Gothic tiles at all and has no particular ornamental elements.

A red brick church with a very pretty facade. If the interior is rather classic (because it was abandoned during the Soviet period), the exterior and especially the facade is quite elaborate with arcades reminiscent of Gaudi's plant motifs. So you have to learn to look at it to appreciate it.

The first church on this site has been known since the end of the 14th century. The stone church appeared at the end of the 15th century. It acquired a Gothic appearance by the middle of the 16th century. It burned several times and fell into disrepair. It acquired its current red brick appearance in the second half of the 18th century. They write that Napoleon admired him after occupying Vilna. That he even wanted to take him to Paris. Fortunately, this was not destined to happen, and we have the opportunity to admire one of the most beautiful churches in Vilnius after the latest careful restoration.

The Church of St. Anne is a masterpiece of late Gothic architecture and one of the symbols of Vilnius. One of the most impressive cathedrals. It is thanks to the bright and rich color that the Church stands out - not only the Church, but the ensemble in general. Very nice and quiet patio. It was not possible to get inside - the church was closed, but they write that the interior decoration is also quite remarkable.

It's just so gothic. Napoleon wished to pick it up, place it in his palm, and return it to Paris. Nice idea, thankfully he did not do it and we still have this big yet tiny church. The age speaks from the stones. The facade strong in it's tones. The interior smaller than you might imagine, feeling rather cramped for such an impressive structure.

Beautiful architecture, warm and cosy feeling. Good energy.
The bilding is late gothic period, bit altars are baroque. Part of a chirch complex with several adjacent buldings.
Highly recommended.

Beautiful, gothic style church. Built in/around the 1500’s, this church is both impressive and one of a kind. If you visit, be sure to really admire both the inside and outside as it’s all really impressive and deserves the attention.

Our hotel was up the street so I could view the exterior with coffee in the morning but then we'd be doing things during the day and didn't make it inside before it closed. The courtyard has some nice statues and it is away from the church congested street of Piles. Schedule yourself better than I did.
