Raktuvės chapel in Žagarė is a wooden chapel in the old Catholic cemetery of Raktuvės hill in Joniškis district, in Žagare. The chapel is located in the part of Naujos Žagarė, at the end of Raktuvės street. The old cemetery is surrounded by a brick fence, and the new Catholic and Orthodox cemeteries extend to the southwest. The chapel is maintained, the authentic form of the building is still preserved here. Inside there is also a classical illusion altar painted on boards with a sculpture of the Crucified. In this chapel, the believers of Žagarė parish established a small museum of sacred heritage. It stores and exhibits liturgical vestments, furniture, church books that are no longer in use, and has an exhibition of crusade works and photographs "Monuments of Sacred Blacksmithing in Žagarė". Many metal crosses collected from surrounding cemeteries can be seen here.
