The Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Victory in Kazokiškės was built during the transitional period between Baroque and Classicism. Its architecture is characterized by a rectangular plan, a single-nave space, with no tower, and a plastered facade with a narrow presbytery and a semi-circular apse. The church has six altars, featuring valuable old works of art such as The Blessed Virgin Mary with the Child, St. Casimir, St. John the Baptist, and other images of Dominican saints. The painting The Blessed Virgin Mary, the Victory, brought from Rome in 1680, is particularly valuable. The church and its ensemble (church, cemetery, fence, and gates) are included in the Lithuanian Register of Cultural Heritage. During renovation work in 2007, frescoes from the Dominican era and Polish inscriptions were discovered. The cemetery, located in the churchyard, contains the graves of notable figures such as Apolinaras Radziševskis and Jonas Bobkevičius.
