On the steps of Oginskis, part 1 - Rietavas

[vyrud]

In this series I want to visit two towns (one town and one township) in Samogitia that were strongly related with the Oginskis family - Rietavas and Plungė. In the first part we will go to the Rietavas - township which was more important for the Oginskis but unfortunately retained less signs of this family these days:

Impressive church, very Italian in its exterior.

Probably Florentian background of Ireneusz Oginski had importance :)
Anyway it's picture is used most often in the publications of architecture of XIXth century in LIthuania.

Interesting because with all its grandeur, the architecture of this specific church is not typical for 19th century former MDL territory.

Still, remarkable stylization, I am impressed.

I guess that it's picture is used because it is untypical ... XIXth century wasn't the best century for the MDL :)
