Chapel in Kryžiai, Chapel in Kryžiai, Lithuania
The Chapel in Kryžiai stands near the Kražantė River, marking a significant religious structure in the Kelmė district of Lithuania.
The chapel's construction followed the events of 1893, when Russian forces attacked Lithuanian protesters defending their religious rights in the Kražiai region.
The structure represents Lithuanian religious resilience, situated in an area where Catholic traditions merged with local Samogitian heritage through centuries.
Visitors reach the chapel by following the main road through Kryžiai village, approximately 2 kilometers from the historic center of Kražiai.
The chapel incorporates architectural elements that reflect both Lithuanian religious architecture and regional Samogitian building traditions of the late 19th century.
