Scanning work of St. Ann church is still unfinished, but the U.S. organization CyArk has already announced it’s first three-dimensional images of the church.
More three-dimensional images on the web will appear in late autumn. Scanned data processing will take three months.
Non-profit-making company in Lithuania scanned church for free. The engineer Erwin Christofer at the press conference on Thursday did not hide that he is searching for a customer in our region thus.
His company scans the buildings, creates a detailed three-dimensional image, which can be converted to drawings or simply use the context condition of the building in the past.

A fragment of the article:
This post was written by Dirk Häusleigner of Christofori und Partner before departing for Vilnius. Dirk has worked on 3D laser scanning projects around the world, including several projects in the CyArk Archive. These include St. Sebald Church, The Stone Bridge of Regensburg, and Babylon.
We are very excited about this upcoming project of scanning the St. Anne church in Vilnius. The church is probably the most famous structure in Vilnius. It is a masterpiece of late, Flamboyant Gothic architecture, nearly unsurpassed in the world. The brick church was designed by Benedikt Rejt and constructed on the initiative of Grand Duke of Lithuania Alexander in 1495-1500.The church has survived into the present almost unchanged. The church was renovated in 1902–1909 when the side arches were uncovered and the walls were strengthened with iron and again in 1960–1970 when the towers were in need of restoration.
