Church of St. Stephen, Vilnius

Church of St. Stephen (Lithuanian: Vilniaus Šv. diakono Stepono bažnyčia, Polish: Kościół św. Szczepana w Wilnie) is a former Roman Catholic church in Naujamiestis, Vilnius. It was completed in 1612 and previously was used by the Brotherhood of Saint Roch, but now stands in a warehouses yard and is hard to reach for visitors.[1][2][3] It was restored from a very poor condition.[4]
