Here was built a chapel which shows the importance of this pilgrimage site. The chapel of the Apparition of St. Virgin Mary in Kvintiškės was sanctified in summer 2014 by Bishop Emeritus Jonas Kauneckas. This chapel has extraordinary form – it looks like the Pope’s Mitre.

Apparition place of St. Virgin Mary is like the Hill of Crosses, because it is full of crosses which are in various forms. It is said that the water of Ilgis Lake possesses healing properties; therefore, people take water from this lake. Every year on 30 of June in the apparition place near Ilgis Lake is an important feast to honor St. Virgin Mary.
