7. Telsiai Russian Orthodox St. Nicholas Church
The only existing cubist style sacred architecture building can be found in Telšiai city. The church had originally been built in the 19th century in a very different place, but because at the time it was built due to the demolition of a Catholic church and graveyard, during the period of Lithuanian Independence the Russian orthodox community received compensation to relocate to another building.
