During World War I the German army used the space of the church as a warehouse for provisions.

The church in Muravanka is one of the finest examples of the fortified temple architecture of the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

The columns support the vaults and the interior is split into the three naves about 12 meters each in height.

In spite of war damages and multiple restoration procedures, the outer look of the building is still close to the original project.

This site was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List on 30 January 2004, in the Cultural category.
