Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Vilnius — The Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Lithuanian: Vilniaus Švč. Mergelės Marijos Ėmimo į dangų bažnyčia) is a Roman Catholic church in the Trakų Street, Vilnius' Old Town, which was established by Franciscans.[1]
The first Franciscan church was built at the end of the 13th century in this site, however it was rebuilt in 1421 because the initial church was burned down during an attack by the Crusaders in 1390.[2]
