On the spot where in ancient times there was a cemetery, in 1624, at the expense of George Litavor Khreptovich , the Castellan of Smolensk , a small wooden church was built in honor of the holy apostles Philip and James . During the war of 1655, the Dominican church burned down, in 1684 a new wooden church was damaged by another fire.
The construction of the stone building began in 1690 and continued in several stages until 1737 . The building was damaged during the shelling of Vilna by Russian artillery in 1794 during the Kosciuszko uprising .
