Very interesting catholic church, which was partly destroyed during wars, but now reconstructed. Our visit target was to see church tower. Lucky, we were on the right time when lithuanian tourist group was there and guide allowed us to join them. Unfortunately, guide talking only in lithuanian language, but thanks to one girl, who was translating partly guide story. Tower climb starts with very old rock stairs, then comes reconstructed part with steel stairs. Up in the tower, placed a lot of bells. Big ones, and more than 20 smaller bells, which are unique and sings in different tonalities. Nice view over yhe city.
The Siauliai Cathedral is one of the buildings that survived the bombing of the city during two World Wars. Children noticed the bell tower as a rocket from afar. They look harmonious with the building. The cathedral is a worthy decoration of the city. It looks great in contrast with the cloudy sky. There are Soviet soldiers' burials nearby. No one is going to move it.
An architecturally distinct church with a large white tower attached to a more standard church hall. The interior was similarly white, and delightfully filled with pink and purple lights.
