The Basilica of the Visitation is Roman Catholic and stands on a hill in the center of the village. The church bears the title of a basilica minor, d. H. The church has a special significance in the surrounding area, which may also carry the Pope's coat of arms.

The Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Trakai is famous for the painting of Our Lady, the Patroness of Lithuania, which speaks of the deep tradition of perceiving Lithuania as a land accompanied by the intercession and protection of Mary. The painting is crowned with crowns, covered with artistic bindings, and surrounded by numerous votive offerings, testifying that this image of the Mother of God has long attracted pilgrims.
In the 16th century, the painting of the Mother of God, which became famous for its miracles and graces, is associated with the name of Duke Vytautas. At the beginning of the 18th century, it was written on the other side of the painting that it was given to Vytautas by the Byzantine Emperor Emmanuel II Palaeologus (1391—1425) on the occasion of his Baptism.

A pilgrimage basilica on the Way of St. James with a "Black Madonna." Currently, there is a plaque with a prayer for peace regarding the war in Ukraine. This war is very close to the people of Ukraine. Minsk, Belarus, is also only 200 km away!
