Altar niche is brick. Played in 1874 a production organ, a pulpit decorated with beautiful carvings stood out. Area 26X25 m². A baroque turret rises on the 14.5 m high roof, above it there is an openwork cross. The walls are sheathed with perpendicular boards. 1942-1943 the artist Bronius Ziedas renovated 5 altars, painted them with white paint, painted new paintings. in 1943 a new parsonage was built. The author of the project is Bronė Kovienė (Lukštaitė). The material was used from the old inn. The rectory was 15.5 m long and 9.5 m wide. There are 8 rooms inside. A 12.7 m high wooden belfry with an openwork cross stood next to the church. There were 3 bells in the belfry. During the First World War, they were taken to Russia. in 1929 Fr. Bambliauskas ordered two new bells, which were cast in Kaunas, at J. Masalcev's foundry. One of them is St. George, the bell weighed 160, the other - St. Casimir's bell - 112 kg. These bells have been preserved. The territory of the church was surrounded by a brick wall with four gates. However, on July 9, 1944, German warplanes set fire to the church and other buildings in the town. Not only the church was destroyed, but also the bell tower, crosses, and the parish archive, which contained archival documents.
