The Evangelical Lutheran Church

The parish of the Evangelical Lutherans of Panevėžys was founded on the initiative of the Count von Ropp in 1790–1795. The church was built in 1845–1850. It is a wooden building with a tower, gothic windows and portals. Rev. Antanas Saulaitis, then the Jesuit provincial in Lithuania and Latvia and his sister Marija Stankus–Saulaitis who resided in the US – the grandchildren of Rev. Rudolfas Lichtenšteinas, who served in the parish in early 20th century – donated 10,000 US dollars for the repairs of the church. The church opened its doors in 2001.
