The Deltuva Evangelical Reformed Church is a historic church, with its ruins remaining in the Ukmergė district, in Deltuva, on the southwestern edge of the town, along the Vepriai–Deltuva road (4804). This church is one of the first Reformed churches in Lithuania and a unique example of a transitional architectural style, bridging the Gothic and Renaissance periods. Although only fragments of the church remain, such as pointed-arch windows and remnants of masonry, it is still considered an important cultural value. In 1992, the church was included in the Lithuanian Cultural Heritage Register (regional significance). The church was established in the 16th century,

but by the 18th and 19th centuries, it was used for various purposes, including as storage and warehouses. After World War I and World War II, the church suffered significant damage. During conservation projects in 1969, it was decided to leave the ruins exposed but to preserve the remains of the walls and carry out necessary repairs. The Deltuva church still holds great cultural significance, with art and literature festivals and theatrical performances held around it. In 2017, a transparent glass stand was erected, featuring a 3D image of the church, offering visitors a chance to explore this historic site and learn about its importance in Lithuanian architecture.
