Church of the Visitation, Šlienava

The Church of the Visitation stands near Kauno marių with three altars inside and a bell tower transported from Kampiškiai village in 1961.

Local villagers constructed the initial wooden chapel in 1713 as protection against the plague, using traditional wooden pegs and following simple architectural methods.

The church features artwork by folk artist Kazimieras Škėma, who designed two side altars in 1945, incorporating Lithuanian religious artistic traditions.

The church complex includes parish houses built in 2000 with a museum of everyday life, two meeting halls, and facilities for community activities.

A 9-meter tower added in 1999 displays a statue of the Virgin Mary, while the churchyard contains Stations of the Cross chapels marking 50 years of parish existence.
