Church of St. Stephen (Lithuanian: Vilniaus Šv. diakono Stepono bažnyčia, Polish: Kościół św. Szczepana w Wilnie) is a former Roman Catholic church in Naujamiestis, Vilnius. It was completed in 1612 and previously was used by the Brotherhood of Saint Roch. Today, it stands in a warehouse yard and is difficult for visitors to access.[1][2][3] It was restored from a very poor condition.[4]
