Zapyškis Church of St. John the Baptist
Zapyškio Šv. Jono Krikštytojo bažnyčia
A small 16th-century red-brick Gothic church standing alone on the Nemunas riverside meadows, one of Lithuania’s most photogenic churches.
Built in the early 16th century as a red-brick Gothic church, it once stood at the center of a village. After the Nemunas changed course, it now stands alone on the riverside meadow, its stepped gable reflected in the river and grass, which makes it one of Lithuania’s most photogenic churches. The interior no longer hosts regular services; in summer it serves as a venue for concerts and weddings. About 20 km from Kaunas, it suits a drive or a bike ride along the Nemunas. The surrounding area may flood during the spring thaw.
