The entrance to Laukžemė village resembles a postcard – after passing through the valley of the Kūlšė River, the elegant wooden St. Andrew’s Church rises on a small hill. The current building, constructed in 1850, hides even older treasures.
In the church vestibule, a wooden sculpture of the Virgin Mary with Child, which had hung there for many years, was found to be around 600 years old – it is the oldest Lithuanian Madonna that has retained its Gothic forms. The church also houses a unique painting of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, painted in 1729, which further enhances the historical significance of this place.
Additional beauty is provided by the stained glass windows made in Warsaw in the early 20th century and the bell, which has been ringing since 1740, recalling old traditions. This church is a true treasure trove of artistic and cultural values, inviting visitors to explore Lithuania's heritage.
