Bernardine Monastery in Vilnius

Bernardine Monastery together with St. Ann’s Church and St. Francis of Assisi (Bernardine) Church form the Bernardine historical-architectural monument. It is a unique urban complex situated in the Old Town. The monastery, like the Bernardine Church, was built in the 15^th century and repeatedly renovated and rebuilt. Many original facades, interior and exterior details, as well as forms have survived to this day, and the Gothic design of the monastery has remained unchanged. The monastery was home to dozens and sometimes hundreds of clergies. Following the uprising in 1863, the monastery was closed and barracks were established there. The Bernardine historical architectural ensemble was permanently destroyed by the street laid down just along the Ann’s Church. It divided the Bernardine Garden and the sanctuary. After the World War I, the interior of the monastery was reconstructed. Its premises are adapted to the Vilnius Academy of Arts.
