The Church of St. Michael the Archangel, Gargždai

The Church of St. Michael the Archangel is a brick, postmodern-style church built in 1989–1990. The church is 22 metres high with a 53-metre-high tower stretching into the sky, on the top of which is attached a clock that was donated by Australian Lithuanians. In the churchyard, the connection of the parish uniting the 18th century and the 21st century is clearly visible. Several authentic 19th-century structures were preserved in the churchyard: a stone belfry and a classicist-style chapel, as well as several wooden chapels and crosses erected in the pre-war period. The area of the church is symbolically surrounded by the brick fence built in the 18th and 19th centuries.
