The site dates back to the 18th century, and it was the first secular hospital in Vilnius. For many years the neighborhood was the main attraction in the Lukiskes suburb of the city, and in addition to the hospital and church, there was a garden, school, pharmacy, and ice cream parlor. It was abandoned in early 2000.
