The Nevėžninkai Chapel, located in the Panevėžys region, is a historical site included in the Cultural Heritage Register. This chapel, built in the mid-19th century when architectural styles like Classicism and Late Classicism were popular, is today a unique heritage site, though it is in a state of decay and has no roof. Despite this, the chapel and its surroundings offer an interesting tourism experience for enthusiasts of historical monuments who want to explore Lithuania's history and architecture. The chapel was constructed on an artificially raised mound, which helped protect it from floods. Its walls are made of stone and bricks, and inside, visitors can still see authentic art elements, though only a portion of them remains. Religious ceremonies were once held here, with locals and landowners attending

services. The Nevėžninkai Chapel is known for its historical significance, as it is connected to the life of the Eidrigevičiai family and the land they ruled. During the later period of conflicts with occupiers, the chapel suffered much damage, but it remains an important part of Lithuania's culture and history. Unfortunately, during the Soviet era, the chapel was used as a warehouse and was not properly maintained. The development of Panevėžys and the installation of nearby water treatment facilities, along with unfavorable conditions, led to the chapel's deterioration. Today, the chapel has become private property, and although it has not received the necessary attention due to significant damage, it still attracts tourists interested in Lithuania’s history, culture, and architectural heritage.
