The chapel of St. John of Nepomuk is located in Strazdų village, Utena district, in the Aukštaitija National Park, near the bridge over the Buka River. The chapel is about 0.7 km from the border of the Ignalina district.
The chapel of St. John of Nepomuk stood many years ago on the land of Vincas Strazdas near the bridge over the Buka River. St. John of Nepomuk is considered the patron saint of bridges, waters, travel, family life, good confession, rescuers, protector from floods, and intercessor for wrongly accused persons. According to folk tradition, he was a saint who saved fields and crops from rain and drought. Statues of St. John of Nepomuk are erected near rivers, streams, and springs.
In 1993, the chapel of St. John of Nepomuk near the bridge over the Buka River was restored at the initiative of the National Park and local residents. A replica of the original preserved by the descendants of Vincas Strazdas was made. A copy of the statue of John of Nepomuk – the saint is depicted in bishop's robes, holding a prayer book in one hand and a cross in the other. An ornamented cross was installed at the top of the chapel's roof.
