Abstract
The purpose of this article is to analyze and interpret the architectural features of the Pomorian Pokrovsky church in Vilnius as a monument of cultural heritage. Pokrovsky church is one of the largest and most valuable part of this Old Believers complex and the cultural heritage of the Old Believers in Vilnius. Neoclassicism with its symmetry and restrained elegance dominates on the exterior of this church. In 1905-1906, after the construction of the church bell tower appeared bright features of the neo-Russian style. These two architectural styles harmoniously complement each other and give the Pokrovsky church a unique identity that distinguishes it from all other Old Believers churches in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Poland.
