Stelmužė church

The religious building stands on elevated ground and features traditional Lithuanian architecture with wooden walls, steep roofs, and ornate decorations throughout its structure.

Dating from 1650, this church was constructed without the use of metal nails or saws, marking it as the oldest wooden religious structure in Lithuania.

The interior contains detailed religious artworks, including paintings and altars that represent the enduring spiritual traditions of the local Lithuanian community.

The church opens for religious services and guided visits, with access through a marked path from the main village road near the Stelmužė Oak.

Builders used specific construction techniques to join wooden elements, creating a structure that has endured for over three centuries without iron reinforcements.
