Tauragė's Holy Trinity Church is one of the most important cultural and historical landmarks in the city of Tauragė. The first church in Tauragė was built in 1507, and the school founded alongside it became the second in Samogitia. Between 1865 and 1869, several requests were made to the authorities for permission to build a new stone church, but only renovations to the old church were allowed.

church was partially restored, but it was once again damaged in 1941 and remained unrestored until the end of the war. It was only fully restored in 1955, largely due to the efforts of parish priest Jonas Beinoris and the financial support of the parishioners. The church features a historicist architectural style with neo-Romanesque and classicist elements, and its plan resembles a Latin cross with a five-sided apse and an octagonal tower. The church houses six altars, enhancing its religious and cultural significance.
