The Krinčinas Church, with its long and fascinating history, is an important cultural heritage site. It was first mentioned in documents in 1585, and a second church was built in 1611 by Dimitrijus Kurbskis, who fled from the Russian tsar and dedicated 7 valakai of land to it. In the same year, a parish school was established, and the inventory of 1736 mentions the new Krinčinas Church, which was visited by participants of the Kościuszko Uprising in 1794.
In 1782, due to the initiative of parish priest Jonas Jeronimas Šarkevičius, the current late Baroque style church was built, featuring a twin-tower structure and three naves. The church's history also includes the poet Antanas Vienažindys, who served as a vicar here for six years. The churchyard features a historicist-style belfry, which is also an important part of the church.
