The Church of St. James the Apostle in Suvainiškis, part of the renowned St. James Way, was built between 1862 and 1863 as a stone masonry structure initiated by priest Antanas Mackevičius. This historicist building is a prime example of Romantic eclecticism. Its ceilings and walls are adorned with plaster ornaments crafted by Biržai artist A. Andrieka, and the church features three neo-Romanesque altars.
The first wooden church in Suvainiškis was constructed in 1782 at the initiative of Antanas Kamarauskas, the owner of Ratkūnai Manor. However, in 1832, the Russian authorities closed the monastery and abolished the parish. The current church is part of the St. James Way network in Lithuania, which connects eleven churches named after St. James. This route is one of the most significant cultural paths in Europe.
