The village of Kaimelis connects with Kiduliai manor and Siaudine village. It is located on the left bank of the Nemunas, near the Jurbarkas Bridge. The settlement is 15 km west of Gelgaudiskis and 31 km northwest of Sakiai. The first chapel in Kiduliai manor was mentioned in 1636. Later, it seems to have belonged to the Protestants, since the seventeenth century. at the end of Samogitian bishop. Jonas Jeronimas Krispinas Kirsensteinas raised the remains of the non-Catholic landowners of Kiduli buried there. It was traditionally considered that this bishop, together with the owner of the Kiduliai manor, consecrated the Kiduliai chapel in 1685. September 29 (St. Michael's Day), but at that time J. J. Krispin Kirsenstein did not yet have the ordination of a bishop. Consequently, either the chapel was not consecrated by him or the wrong date of consecration (the chapel was already mentioned as consecrated in 1694). Kiduliai Chapel originally functioned as a branch of Jurbarkas parish: in 1703. it was served every third Sunday by a priest coming from Jurbarkas, the services were revived during the residence of the bishop or after the flooding of the Nemunas. 1758 Samogitian bishop. Antanas Dominykas Tiskevicius freed Kiduliai Chapel from belonging to any parish church and determined the territory belonging to it - fourteen parishes of Jurbarkas and Skirsnemune on the left bank of the Nemunas. It can be said - that it was then that Kiduliai Chapel became a church - an independent territorial branch. This is evidenced in 1758. In mid-September, books on baptism (and, since 1760, marriage) metrics were written. Looks like a bishop. After the death of A. D. Tiskevicius, the situation changed. 1763 The curator Jonas Juskevicius, who took over the Kiduliai church, handed over the administration of the church to the pastor of Jurbarkas again on the order of the bishop's ordinary (Jonas Dominykas Lopacinskis?). Ignotas Koncevicius, and in 1774. In the list of churches of the Samogitian diocese, Kiduliai church is mentioned as a public chapel in Jurbarkas parish. The number of believers belonging to it is not specified. As can be seen from the owner of Kiduliai manor Terese Karpyte-Potockiene in 1790. document, the manor continued to maintain permanent chaplains serving its own needs. 1804 Kiduliai Church is considered a parish, 23 villages belonging to it with 1945 inhabitants are listed. After finding out that the church did not formally have the status of a parish church, between 1808 and 1815. it was attached to the Ploksciai Church as a branch, although it continued to be served by separate chaplains assisted by a vicar or resident. Kiduliai Church as a branch in 1818. inscribed in the founding bull of the diocese of Augustuw. 19th century It was claimed in the middle of the 19th century that the village of Kaimelis became a branch after its curator Pranciskas Norvilas became the pastor of Ploksciai, but after the Kiduliai church remained. Such an interpretation is convincing, because until then the Kiduliai church had no legal relations with the Ploksciai parish church and did not even limit itself to it (the two churches were separated from each other by the Gelgaudiskis parish). The Kiduliai Chapel / Church had acquired special significance when the nearby manor was ruled by two Samogitian bishops - J. J. Krispinas Kirsensteinas (bishop in 1695-1708) and A. D. Tiskevicius (1740-1762), who often visited Kiduliai: in 1703. St. On St. Michael's Day in this chapel Bishop. J. J. Krispin Kirchenenstein ordained the Sacrament of Confirmation to 424 persons. Repeated statements in historiography that the former owner of Cionyksciai manor, Samogitian bishop, was buried in Kiduliai or Kaimelis church. Joseph Mykolas Karpis (1736-1739), to be considered a misunderstanding.

The small basilica of St. Michael is the main church of Marijampolė. It was founded in 1824 and enlarged in 1882. The church has elements of neo-baroque style.

The Jewish Cemetery in Krasnopol stood once on the outskirts of the village. No tombstones have been preserved from it. The area of the cemetery was fenced by ESJF in November 2016.
