Viewed against the late Baroque European system of
architecture and tine arts, Wilno Baroque (Vilnius,
Lithuania) shows itself as a self-contained historical
and cultural phenomenon, therefore it is unjustified
to identify it with Rococo. This self-contained
character of Wilno Baroque consisted not only in
specific formal features: verticalism, openwork,
surface approach to the orders, but also in the overall
architectural character of the building, and in
particular of the Greek-Catholic churches from
around Polock-Witebsk (]TojiauK-Biue6cK) and
Slonim (CnomM) Regions. The formation of Wilno
Baroque was strongly influenced by the ideology of
the Uniate Church. The style ranged quite far. Brick
churches in the Wilno Baroque style served as
models for many wooden Uniate churches being
raise within Belarusian Polesie (IfanecBce).
