In the late 15th century, complaints from the people of Pasvalys about the infrequency and distance of their journey to the church reached the Bishop of Vilnius, resulting in the loss of many blessings. This led to the privilege granted by the Grand Duke of Lithuania, Alexander, on December 6, 1497, allowing the construction of a church in Pasvalys at the confluence of the Levuo and Svalia rivers. This event marked the beginning of the town's history. The current church is the third on this site, built in 1787, and gained its present appearance in 1887 when two towers and side naves were added. In 1851, the Bishop of Samogitia, Motiejus Valančius, consecrated the church, which features Baroque and Historicism architectural elements. Visitors entering the churchyard are greeted by seven angel sculptures, symbolizing Hope, Life, Fishermen, Sorrow, Humility, Meaning for Everyone, and Speech.
