The Camaldolese monks, according to the rule, located their hermitages in places with water, forest and hills. This was also the case with the hermitage in Pazaislis, founded in the 17th century by the powerful Lithuanian Pac family. The hardships of poor access are fully compensated by the beautifully situated monastery and church, which was an architectural revelation in its time. I was most delighted with the delicious baroque interior of the temple, built on a regular hexagonal plan.
