Church of the Resurrection
Воскресенская церковь
A Baroque church in the Vilnius style on the market square beside the town hall. It was demolished in the Soviet era and rebuilt, and its twin-tower façade is elegant and refined.
The Church of the Resurrection, also known as the Market Church, was first built in the mid-18th century. It is a leading example of Vilnius Baroque and takes its name from the old market square where it stands. The Soviet authorities demolished it in 1936. In the 2000s it was rebuilt on its original site using historical drawings. Its twin-tower façade, in cream and white, is graceful and detailed. The church sits right next to the town hall. Viewed from the Pushkin Bridge area, the church, the town hall and the Cathedral of the Assumption together form Vitebsk’s most classic skyline. Entry is free.
