Lieplaukė Church is a historical and architectural gem with an intriguing past. Lieplaukė, which was under the ownership of the Samogitian bishop from 1421 to 1842, was first mentioned in 1613. A new church was built in 1621 as a filial of the Alsėdžiai parish but was burned down by the Swedish army in 1627. After this event, the church was rebuilt in 1673, and in 1766, it was granted 2 valakas (land units) of land.
The Lieplaukė parish was established in 1844, and between 1861 and 1862, the current wooden church was built with funds from the parishioners. The church was consecrated by Bishop Aleksandras Beresnevičius in 1882. During World War I, the Germans took two of the church's bells.
This church has a Latin cross layout with a single tower. It houses six altars, and the churchyard is enclosed by a stone wall, with a wooden belfry. Between the belfry and the church stands a wooden rectory, complementing the church complex.
