christ's resurrection church

DavidBennett_12

The church is very modern and beautiful. It is not like most Roman Catholic churches one expects to see in Europe. Be sure to pay the small sum to take the elevator up to the top for a Birdseye view of the city.

You can get to church from Center taking Žaliakalnio funicular. This church has been restored after being closed and used as a factory warehouse by the Soviets. Now, in sunny days it glare. The church is big and all in white. You can take the lift or the stairs (cheaper ticket and more attraction :) ) to the roof viewpoint and you will have fantastic views over Kaunas. Church is 70 meters high. Viewpoint is working from 12 to 18 hours.

We went via the old fenicular and climbed the stairs to get to the church gallery.This is the best view of Kaunas.The church is not the most beautiful in Europe but is modern and well attended.Turn right and walk towards the sports complex to see the old & new Kaunas,then down the hill towards the new Acropolis shopping centre.

Had a little ceremony in this church today, in memory of my mother in law whom passed away in June 2013, I am not catholic but church is beautiful inside at out, a must is to take the elevator to the very top of the church for beautiful panoramic views of Kaunas, breath taking...

It is a really beautiful church.I'm not so much interested about churches but if you are in Kaunas you really need to visit it. You can go up to the balcony (with elevator or steps) and you will have a beautiful view to the city. You can go up to the church with funicular what is goes from behind War Museum

Catholic or not, stop at this church and take its stairway to heaven (actually an elevator to be more convenient) for a panoramic view of Kaunas. You'll find yourself pausing and breathing deeply -- which proves to be the best inspiration for a prayer of your own. The church itself, like most churches in Lithuania, contains a unique Design in a setting to worship Christ. This church is the pride of the people of Kaunas, who donated to build this church in the interwar and donated to restore it to its splendor currently. It also has a cellar, often featuring an art show. Various programs are held on Sundays following mass.

This church has been restored after being used as a factory or warehouse by the Soviets. You can reach it by taking the funicular railway from the town centre. The church is beautiful in white and has a wonderful serene feel to it. You can take the lift or the stairs to the roof and you will have fantastic views over Kaunas. If it is a sunny day, you are dazzled by the white stone from the chucrch itself. The church is a poignant reminder of the brief turbulent history of Lithuanian Independence from the 1920s/1930s.

The highlight of Kaunas. Interesting both outside and inside. You can climb the stairs (or took the elevator) and have the city view.

So beautiful place, the light, the acoustics at the church, saintness lives here and it'll get you as well. Enjoy and check the views up the stairs (4 LTL) or by elevator (8LTL).We got a peaceful mind from this church :)

This extraordinary white church towering over the city came about through an idea for a house of workship in praise of Lithuania independence in 1922.

In Kaunas this is one of those places that are must! View from the top is great!There is a lot of air to breathe, kind of spooky, but sweet feeling =D You can climb to the hill or take the funicular.Go go!

a modern style church with sharp rhythmic verticals and a white distinctive staircase silhouette in the centre of which a 70-metre-high tower rises up...amazing view on Kaunas from the roof terrace, don't miss it !!!

Christ's Resurrection Church sits above Kaunas in austere majesty. Take the funicular railway up the hill and you'll come out of the station right next to the church - it's impossible to miss it! Designed in the 1920 building commenced in the 30's but was not finished until 2004. During WW2 the Germans used it for storage and then the Soviets turned it into a radio factory.It is a stark but impressive building, very modern looking inside and out. The 70m tower dominates, you can go up and I would imagine that the view is pretty spectacular (we couldn't go up due to a wedding in the church).

We got to this church via the funicular (price 1 lt, about 25p). we had a quick look round the church which was huge and then walked up the stairs to the roof top view point. It was wonderful, you could see for miles, all the city, river, everything, was a wonderful photo opportunity. price was 4 lts (about £1) it cost 7 lts (about £1.75) to use the elevator. well worth the walk up the stairs. There were clean toilets also.

Christ's Resurrection Church is just grand! A very power site to see! it can be reached by the Kaunas funicular which was designed by German engineers. It costs only 1 Litas for a ride! The church was designed during Lithuania's independence when Kaunas was the capital. After the Soviets took control of the country the unfinished church was converted into a radio factory. It was later completed after independence. Great panoramic view of the city can be seen! The terrace is a great place for a wedding!
