Holy Virgin Mary's Apparition Chapel, Šiluva

Holy Virgin Mary's Apparition Chapel, Šiluva, Catholic chapel in Šiluva, Lithuania

The chapel features a central altar built upon the apparition stone, with a statue of the Holy Virgin Mary positioned directly above it.

Bishop Aleksandras Sapiega constructed the first wooden chapel at this location in 1663, following the reported apparition of the Virgin Mary in 1608.

The chapel remains an essential pilgrimage destination where visitors honor the tradition of circling the central altar while offering their prayers.

Located 300 meters west of the Šiluva Basilica, the chapel welcomes visitors throughout the year with regular religious services and guided tours.

The current structure, completed in 1924, incorporates French modernist architectural elements designed by Lithuanian architect Antanas Vivulskis during his stay in Paris.
