St. Anne's Cathedral is one of the few Gothic cathedrals of Vilnius. They say his beauty and grace impressed Napoleon Bonaparte so much that he wanted to disassemble the cathedral brick by brick and take it to Paris. Fortunately, these plans failed to materialize. For five centuries since its creation in the 15th century, the church has remained virtually unchanged: its plastic, dynamic forms and vertical proportions, like huge lianas grow from the ground and stretch up. The reason for its elegance lies in the 33 types of bricks and clay shades used in construction - this is a yellow shaped brick, carefully baked, resistant to moisture and temperature fluctuations. After the fire of 1761, the smoky outer walls were painted red. Translated with Google Translate
