A place where the memory of the 1863 uprising comes alive – near the Daniliškis manor in Šventybrastis, where the tsarist army surprised a group of 200 infantry and 20 cavalry insurgents. Following these events, burials were forbidden in the cemetery, and the bodies of the fallen were laid to rest near the church. Descending the steps from the church towards the Nevėžis River, a monument dedicated to Lithuanian Independence stands, originally crafted in 1928 by sculptor Kostas Rameika, with assistance from priest Vincas Švambaris. Though the monument was destroyed in 1959, local residents buried its remnants. In 1988, ethnographic enthusiast Alfonsas Petrauskas discovered a photograph of the monument, which enabled its restoration in May 1989.
