Abstract

In 2024, Kaunas Benedictine Convent will celebrate its 400th anniversary. Throughout this period, the convent’s existence has not been interrupted. During the Soviet period, from 1948 to 1988, the convent still operated in secret. However, the archives of the convent began to be organized anew at the beginning of the 21st century revealing important documentation not only for the convent, but also for monastic research. It is for this reason that this article aims to present the documents of Kaunas Benedictine Convent’s archive.
