Wooden Beit Midrash in Žiežmariai

The wooden chapel Kernavė, which is next to the Church of the Holy Virgin Mary, was built in 1820-1822. The chapel was transferred to the care of the church, and was for a long time used only for storing church furniture. Unattended, the chapel gradually deteriorated and finally collapsed after the Second World War. In 1959, the building was renovated and repaired externally with vertical boards.

The Church of the Holy Virgin Mary was first built at the beginning of the 15th century as a wooden church. The present stone church was built in 1910-1920 in the neo-gothic style and consecrated in 1925. Between 1930-1934 and 1968-1979, Nikodemas Švogžlys-Milžinas (1899-1985), a public figure, writer, repaired the church.

The Pažaislis Church and Monastery is one of the most beautiful examples of Baroque architecture in Lithuania. Construction work was carried out from 1662 to 1712. In 1832, the complex was closed by the Russians and later converted into the Russian Orthodox Church. After 1920, the ruined church was returned to the Catholics. After the Second World War, the Soviet authorities transformed the complex into an archive centre, a psychiatric hospital and, in 1966, an art gallery. In 1990, the buildings were returned to the nuns and a restoration was undertaken.
