New Church of Zapyškis

In 1939, the construction of a pseudo-romanic style church with a square tower started in Zapyškis. However, construction was not completed until 1942, and it opened its doors only in the Soviet era. The walls of the building are decorated with the modernized elements of historical styles typical for interwar Lithuanian architecture and also cleverly integrated fragments of the walls of the ruined church.
