The Juodeikiai St. John the Baptist Church is a wooden, single-towered sanctuary built in 1920 with funds from local residents and under the care of Father Vincentas Jarulaitis. It is known not only for the feasts of St. John the Baptist and St. Francis of Assisi but also for the activities of Father Stanislovas (priest Algirdas Mykolas Dobrovolskis) during the years 1957-1960.
Thanks to the priest, the church was renovated, and its façade was adorned with a wayside shrine featuring the Caring One, later replaced with St. John the Baptist, as well as symbols of the Gedimino Columns and Divine Providence. The interior stands out with carved, ornamented details and an elegant early 20th-century neobaroque crystal chandelier with sixteen candles, which is included in the Register of Cultural Heritage (c. 8950).
