The Five Hearts Wayside Shrine in Tirkšliai, shrouded in the mist of history and legends, stands as a silent sentinel, reflecting the memory of 1676 and the history of the town square. Crafted by an unknown master, this wayside shrine is not only an architectural landmark but also a spiritual symbol, bearing witness to past events and the loyalty of the people. According to local legend, the creation of the shrine is linked to dramatic historical circumstances when the family of the Tirkšliai manor and their loyal guardian faced Swedish aggression. The symbolism of the masonry monument with five red hearts is a powerful representation of loyalty, courage, and sacrifice, and its history serves as an eternal reminder of past events and human determination.
