The Mažeikiai Sacred Heart of Jesus Church, built between 1930 and 1936, is not only an architectural gem but also a masterpiece of spiritual heritage, designed by the renowned interwar Lithuanian architect Vytautas Landsbergis-Žemkalnis and adorned with the works of artist Rimtas Kalpokas. A unique feature of the church is the "Pieta" sculpture, which is listed among Lithuania's cultural heritage objects, adding significant value to this sacred site.
Adjacent to the church and Senamiesčio Park stands the Cross of St. Francis of Assisi, which commemorates the 700th anniversary of St. Francis of Assisi's death and serves as a poignant reminder of Mažeikiai's complex history, honoring those who perished during World War I. Therefore, the Mažeikiai Sacred Heart of Jesus Church and its surroundings are valuable both architecturally and historically, offering the town a unique identity and revealing its spiritual culture.
