Wooden and neogothic in style, this parish church in Eržvilkas traces its roots to a 1528 chapel that stood between the Šaltuona river and its tributary before evangelical reformers took it over in the late 16th century. Bishop Merkelis Giedraitis had a replacement built in 1585, and after an 1847 fire destroyed a later structure, the current building went up in 1855 and was enlarged with a bell tower in 1902-1903. Inside, three naves divided by columns hold an organ by master craftsman Martynas Masalskis, and the surrounding churchyard complex, including the freestanding wooden belfry, cemetery fence and crosses, is protected as regional architectural heritage. Several of the church’s folk-art sculptures were transferred to the Church Heritage Museum in 2000. Today it remains an active Kaunas Archdiocese parish holding Sunday Mass at noon, running a choir and a Caritas charity group, and celebrating three annual feast days: St. George, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, and St. Matthew.
