Gerda Ožiūnaitė, director of the Vilnius branch of the CRD, pointed out that the installation of bedrooms in the building’s chapel, which contains crypts with possible burials (no investigations have been carried out), is not appropriate.
“This venue could be adapted and made available to the public as a museum venue for the presentation of the history of this building, for example. But we will solve everything when we receive an interior rehabilitation project and adaptation of the building. We don’t have it yet. We will repeatedly submit a request to the building owner not to do any construction work inside the building without receiving the necessary documents, ”said G. Ožiūnaitė.
These facilities could be adapted and made available to the public as museum facilities.
He also added that the project is approved only for external management of the building. According to G.Ožiūnaitė, the Vilnius branch of the CRD has not received any project regarding the internal restoration and adaptation of the premises, therefore it has not approved the installation of apartments.
“When we receive the project, we will decide on the approval or disapproval of the interior design solutions,” said the head of the Vilnius branch of the CRD.
Although the CRD cannot punish building owners for supposedly planned apartments alone, it urges residents to be careful.
The Vilnius Territorial Division of the CRD emphasized that it has only approved the Building of the Reformed Evangelical Synod of Vilnius, the Building of the Synod of the Complex of Other Objects (unique code in the Register of Cultural Heritage 27037), located in Pylimo str. 7, Vilnius, a facade management works project (restoration, conservation, repair) and has issued a permit to carry out management works (restoration, conservation, repair) of a cultural heritage object.
The Vilnius Territorial Division of the CRD also approved the one-room residential building on Pylimo str. 7 in Vilnius for a major repair project (facade, roof, staircase), which does not address internal design. We also note that the Vilnius Territorial Division of the CRD has not approved the project of administrative construction works, which would provide for the change of purpose of the synod building and the formation of houses.

The purpose does not change significantly
The building has been neglected for the past decades, and in 2013 the resulting fire severely damaged it. “After the building was returned to the evangelical reformers, they did not take much care of it and then sold the building. The current owners (SPV-11) commissioned an accident elimination project and carried out the work. They also commissioned a construction works project. management, before which an applied investigation was carried out, during which new valuable data was found, – said Indrė Baliulytė, Chief Specialist for Territorial Planning and Heritage Research Organization. – The administrator has signed a security agreement which states that the public can also present its interior.

According to I. Balaliytė, this building is practically safe from demolition. A few years ago, his state was one of emergency. The specialist pointed out that the building is designed to restore the polychrome and moldings, other authentic elements, and this, together with the historical knowledge of this building, increases its value. Heritage conservationist historian I. Baliulytė, who conducted historical research on this building some time ago, emphasizes that the new owners of its purpose do not plan to change much – the building was inhabited.
How Reformed Evangelicals Found In This Place
According to the historical research report, the Reformed community in this area until WWII ruled four parcels between Pylimo, Basanavičius, Kalinauskas and Teatro st. The main plot, surrounded by a brick fence, was in the center. The second plot near Pylimo str. Renovated leased. The third plot, to the north of the central plot, had a garden. Fourth parcel, 1809. Delivered to the reformed Dominican community, it was rented outside the Synod building.
Historical sources show that the construction of the perimeter of the central parcel did not change until World War II. It was built in the northern part of the territory in 1640. Cemeteries were established in the 20th century. it was situated in the middle of 1777. the Šreteriai chapel was built: the mausoleum, the chapel of the Vinhold family (the date of its construction is not clear), the town hall building and other residential and agricultural buildings.
“The two-story house (the southern part of the existing building), which was in the Gothic period, was rebuilt during the Renaissance, and a chapel with a cellar was built next to it,” said I. Balulytė.
According to the heritage conservationist, Evangelical Reformed cemeteries were first established outside the city walls. Later, other plots were donated to the reformers, where other buildings were built. The wooden church was built before 1651. The cemetery area was fenced off earlier. In 1655 during the war the church and other buildings were burned, the brick fence was demolished.
As noted in the report, the largest building in the celebration was the synod building. It was found along the perimeter of the old Dominican garden. There was an oval window above the door; from this description we know the current building. The building has two floors, with a loft. 19th century In the middle of the 19th century the house was rebuilt, part of the premises was expanded, some premises were reduced.

The first floor of the building indicates the old vaulted ceiling. Of great importance was the round-plan archive room with dome-shaped vaults: it housed the foundation of the community and other important documents, books, as well as ceremonial utensils and the treasure of the church (in this room, the advertisement indicates the planned bedroom). After World War II, the documents were transferred to the library of the Academy of Sciences (now Wrublewski). The building was not just an archive: there were apartments for a teacher and an organist, a bedroom for poor children, a hospital. The plot was fenced with a brick fence covered with tiles.
The building was renovated in 1833: new doors were installed and stoves were rebuilt. The attic is adapted for housing. The wall paintings in the rooms are described: the friezes are painted, the ceilings are also painted by the artist (the last name is not specified). Floral decorations painted in the corners and in the middle of the ceiling.

15 minutes earlier awarethat next to the Reformed Garden, instead of the Synod building, the SPV-11 company plans 14 apartments. Then, even without publishing project proposals, the public was outraged by the project. The name of the project – “Renovated Palace” – also caught their attention.
