Church of the Holy Trinity (Lithuanian: Švč. Trejybės bažnyčia) is a Roman Catholic church in Trinapolis , one of the parts of Lithuania's capital Vilnius.[1] The church was built in 1715–1721 and consecrated in 1722.[1][2][3][4][5] However, its towers were completed only in 1772.[2]
The monastery closed in 1832 and in 1846 was given to the newly-established (1839) Russian Orthodox Diocese of Lithuania. It was returned to the Catholic Church after World War I.
Near the church there is a former Trinitarians monastery complex, who were invited to the area by Konstanty Kazimierz Brzostowski in 1700.[1][3] Since then the area was called after the Trinitarians.[1]
