The St. Peter and St. Paul's Church (Lithuanian: Šv. apaštalų Petro ir Povilo bažnyčia) is a Roman Catholic church in Panevėžys, Lithuania.[1][2][3] The current Neo-Renaissance brick church was built between 1877 – 1885, however the parish dates to 1507 when the first church in Panevėžys was built on the right bank of Nevėžis and a filial church of the Panevėžys Old Town was established, belonging to the Parish of Ramygala.[1][2][4][5] It has an authentic organ constructed by Juozapas Radavičius which dates to 1887.[6][7] The church was renewed in 2018 and a new altar, made of Greek marble and gilded wood carvings, was added and consecrated.[8]
