The cycle of live History in Pažaislis. Hortus Conlusus

The Chancellor of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania Kristupas Zigmantas Pacas, the founder of the Pažaislis Monastery, was looking for a cover and peace in remote Nemunas valley. This is illustrated by Paco’s own words about unbeatable rest in Pažaislis. 1679 He wrote to an unknown addressee in autumn: “From Warsaw to the GDR, to my usual place of residence, “Monte Pacis”, I arrived on September 12, saving my health and wallet, here, though not timely, I took care of my health.” Pažaislis appears as a baroque arcade to Pacas – the place where the imitation of peace, separation from the world, or even a kind of paradise on earth – Hortus Conclusus – is created. “(Mindaugas Paknys, History of the construction and decorating of the Pažaislis monastery, monograph of science, Vilnius, 2013)

On “Monte Pacis”, a pre-selected and publicly announced day, a free lecture – meeting – chat – conversation with the clergy, scientists, writers and other professionals and talents is being held.
