Church of St. Joseph the Betrothed ( Lithuanian: Vilniaus Šv. Juozapo sužadėtinio bažnyčia, Polish: Kościół św. Józefa Oblubieńca) is a demolished Roman Catholic church in Vilnius' Old Town, which previously was located in Arklių St. The church was established in 1638 by the Vice-Chancellor of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania Stefan Pac and was used by the Carmelites. In 1877 the Church of St. Joseph the Betrothed was demolished by the tsar's order, to be replaced by a market (presently it is a square).^[1]^[2]
