Chapel in Agailės, Brick chapel in Agailės forest, Šiauliai District, Lithuania

The chapel stands in a secluded location within Gedinčiai forest district, 12 kilometers north of Kuršėnai, accessible through gravel forest roads.

The first wooden chapel was constructed during the serfdom period, and the site became a burial ground for participants of the 1863 uprising.

The chapel hosts two annual religious ceremonies: Ascension Day festivities and Thanksgiving celebration on the first Sunday of September.

The chapel remains unlocked for visitors throughout the year, with a phone number inside to contact clergy and guest books for leaving messages.

The chapel's statue of Virgin Mary was recovered and restored after being buried in trenches during the 1975 Soviet demolition of the previous structure.
