A replica of a chapel from the late 19th century was created around 1970 by folk artist Antanas Bikelis. The chapel is attached to an old linden tree trunk, and inside it features a wooden sculpture of the Crucified Christ, harmoniously fitting with the chapel's architecture. Continuing along the path, you will find a pillar with a sculpture of the Baptism of Christ. The original monument, created by Antanas Norkūnas in 1935, was restored by Antanas Bikelis in 1972, as the original small architectural work had decayed. The pillar has a rectangular base and an open chapel supported by four posts, with a cross-shaped roof covering the sculptural composition depicting the baptism of Jesus Christ in the Jordan River, symbolizing the beginning of Jesus' ministry.
