In 1863, Zigmantas Kognovickis, the owner of the Lančiūnavas estate, began building the church, but the construction was halted due to the uprising occurring at the time. It was not until 1874 that permission was granted to build a masonry burial chapel, which was completed in 1880. During this difficult period, when Catholic sanctuaries were being converted into Orthodox churches, the cult of St. Casimir gained special significance in Lithuania. The church, which was temporarily adapted as a cinema hall in the 1960s, reopened its doors in 1991.
The church is built in an eclectic Romantic style, with walls constructed from natural fieldstones and a tower made of bricks. The main altar wall is adorned with a triptych of frescoes, created by artist Bronius Rutkauskas in 1991-1992. The frescoes depict major Christian events: the Crucifixion of Christ and the Stations of the Cross, including the Ascension and the Descent into Heaven.
