Depicted remnants of nice Baroque sundial you can find on the facade of the western wing of buildings surrounding the Great Courtyard of Vilnius University historic campus in Vilnius downtown.

The courtyard is the pantheon of the University, whose gallery commemorates the University’s founders, patrons and eminent men of science. The surviving frescoes of the northern wing of the building display the VU coat of arms and portraits of the University’s patrons, while the highlight of the structure is the magnificent baroque portal of the parochial St. John’s Church. After the fire in the middle of the 18th century, the church and the belfry were reconstructed in late baroque style by the most eminent architect of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Johan Kristoph Glaubitz.

Sundial Type: Vertical - Wall mounted dial plate
