Kelmė 1915




Both cards sent from the feldpost station 170 in 1915 by the same sender and to the same destination. The upper picture was taken from the bell tower of the church, and in the lower picture, you can see the church itself. This church was build in 1416 by Vytautas the Great and named the church of Virgin Mary of the Assumption (Švč. Mergelės Marijos Ėmimo į dangų bažnyčia in Lithuanian). It was remodeled  numerous time, the present appearance is the result of the 1908 remodel.
