The Carmelites established a presence in Kėdainiai in the early 18th century, despite resistance from the Reformers. It was not until 1766 that the Church of St. Joseph was built, whose massive forms and the bell tower next to it add monumental grandeur to the town. Inside, there are 18th-century altars, and the paintings of St. Joseph and the Virgin Mary with the child, decorated with vestments, are particularly noteworthy. The walls and ceilings are adorned with polychrome decorations, although the paintings on the side altars have not survived.
In 1963, the church was closed and turned into a warehouse, but after restoration, it was returned to the faithful in 1991. In the churchyard stands a monument by folk artist Julius Urbonavičius, "Angel," dedicated to the 1000th anniversary of the name of Lithuania.
The church houses the relic of St. John Bosco, and it is open to visitors every day except Mondays.
