Church of St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus in Paveisininkai

The Church of St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus in Paveisininkai, built in 1939, was closed after World War II, and its liturgical objects were transferred to the former Museum of Atheism. In 1990, it was returned to the faithful and renovated. This small wooden church, located near the road and surrounded by a stone wall, has a rectangular plan structure. The interior is divided into three naves by two pairs of columns, with a higher and wider central nave. At the rear is the presbytery, and sacristies are located in the side naves. The church itself, with its utilitarian architecture, resembles a residential house with a steep gabled roof. Wide double doors and small rectangular windows adorn the side walls. Inside, there are three altars, with the main altar consisting of a mensa, a tabernacle, and a painting. The organ loft is situated at the rear of the central nave, above the main entrance.
