Chapel in Rainiai, Memorial chapel in Rainiai, Lithuania
The Chapel in Rainiai is a memorial building with frescoes on the ceiling depicting martyrs and stained glass windows showing themes of suffering. The interior combines artistic representations that serve remembrance purposes.
In 1941, political prisoners were executed here by Soviet forces during the occupation. The memorial structure was later built to mark this tragic event and preserve its memory.
The chapel serves as a place where people come together to honor those who suffered during Soviet occupation. It holds deep meaning for the community as a space of remembrance.
The site is generally accessible to visitors, though it is worth checking directions beforehand. Guided visits in different languages can be arranged, and the location has straightforward access.
A basement beneath the building contains an exhibition with historical objects and photographs documenting the tragic events. This collection provides insight into the personal stories of that period.
