Taurage Evangelical Lutheran Church

From the 18th century to the beginning of the 20th, solid, square or cross churches were mainly built. The buildings without a tower now received a larger or smaller belfry. Some buildings are half-timbered or made entirely of wood. Even the village churches received decorative elements such as turrets, niches, pseudo windows, etc. The construction of the church was supervised by a special commission. She made sure that the houses of worship were built in the neo-Romanesque or neo-Gothic style, with a bell tower and made of red bricks.
