Reškutėnai was far from the towns, far from the church – all the neighboring churches were more than 10 kilometers away. The residents of the Reškutėnai village of the Kaltanėnai parish built a wooden chapel on their own initiative and with their own funds. The idea to build a church arose in 1914. A decade later, in 1924, the residents turned to the bishop, asking to recognize the chapel as public, to consecrate it and to allow services to be held in it. The organizers of the construction were Vincas Petkūnas (who was both the first sacristan and the bell ringer) and Vincas Lapėnas. On May 18, 1924, the chapel was consecrated by the Palūšė pastor Petras Prunskis. The church is a larger rustic-style chapel – of folk architectural forms, reminiscent of a traditional residential house, with a three-walled apse, a low side sacristy, a porch and a turret. There is only one altar - a large one, in the center of which hangs a copy of the Holy Mother of God of the Gates of Dawn. There is a wooden bell tower in the churchyard.
