Pažaislis Monastery – the Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary with a Camaldolese monastery, located in Pažaislis, on the Kaunas Lagoon Peninsula. The ensemble is considered one of the best examples of mature Baroque in Northern and Eastern Europe.
The Pažaislis church and monastery ensemble is one of the finest masterpieces of mature Baroque architecture in Northeastern Europe. The sanctuary on the outskirts of Kaunas, in a remote forest at that time, was built in the 17th century for Camaldolese monks by the Chancellor of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Kristupas Žygimantas Pacas (1621–1684). The ensemble was designed by the Italian architect Giovanni Battista Frediani, decorated with moldings by Lombard sculpture masters and frescoes by the Florentine painter Michael the Archangel Palonius. The uniqueness of the ensemble is determined by a unique architectural solution. For the first time in Europe, the concave plane of the church facade, a rather rare hexagonal plan, and the axially symmetrical composition of the entire monastery were used.

A modern hotel and restaurant Monte Pacis, has been established in the historic Pažaislis Monastery.
