Church of the Assumption of Virgin Mary As you enter, if you look behind and upwards toward Palanga – Lithuania the back there is a beautiful organ set into the walls.

Some 18 miles north of Klaipedia (the third largest city of the Republic of Lithuania) is the small town of Palanga. Following a visit to the world’s first Amber Museum in the Renaissance Tiskerviius Palace in the Botanical Park, we then came across this spectacular church in Palanga and decided to have a look.

A door inside at the back of the church allows you to climb the stairs which lead you to this organ and then there are further steps behind this leading you to the observation platform at the very top of the spire of the church. I left this task to Alex to climb this spiral stairway (me being more than content to stay firmly at the high organ level!).

This was built more than hundreds of years ago. The first church here was wooden and built in 1540 and the tower and bell tower added in 1590. However a brick church was then commissioned by a Swedish architect to replace the wooden church and this was not completed until 1907.

It is very impressive inside with 3 marble alters and 2 other wooden alters in the side naves. These wooden alters had been brought from the previous wooden church. Helen Bullen
