Moving to Smorgon
Smorgon Church of St. Michael the Archangel (external inspection) - For 400 years of its existence, the building has managed to serve Calvinists, Catholics, Orthodox Christians and atheists. However, even today it has the glory of the former Calvin Collection. It combines austere simplicity and solidity, belligerence and rhythmic scenery.
Savior Transfiguration Church - Cathedral of the Transfiguration of the Lord, which the townspeople often call the Transfiguration Church, is the architectural dominant of Smorgon. Built on a dais next to the picturesque Oksna River, it stands on the site of another Orthodox church that was destroyed during Soviet times.
Rock Garden - Natural stone miraculously conveys the different characters of abstract sculpture. For a month, a closed plein air of famous and novice sculptors took place in Smorgon. The result of their work was a real rock garden that adorned the streets of the city.
