Chapel in Rainiai, Memorial chapel in Rainiai, Lithuania

The Rainiai chapel features frescoes depicting martyrs on its ceiling and stained glass windows illustrating themes of suffering throughout its structure.

In June 1941, Soviet forces executed 76 political prisoners from Telšiai prison in the forest near the current chapel location.

The chapel serves as a memorial site where people gather every Sunday and during special commemorations to honor victims of Soviet terror.

Visitors can arrange guided tours in Lithuanian for 15 euros or English for 25 euros by contacting Museum Alka at +37067229462.

The basement of the chapel contains an exhibition that documents the 1941 events through historical artifacts and photographs.
