These inactive burial grounds, which once served as a resting place for the residents of Margininkai village, are now overgrown with old spruces and pines, giving it a mysterious atmosphere. In the center stands an impressive chapel with a sculpture of a saint created by an unknown folk artist. The cemetery features uneven terrain, with a metal cross nearby symbolizing its history. It is said that in the past, mysterious flames would frighten passersby.
