In front of the church, in the town square, stands a bronze statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
In it, Mary is depicted with her arms outstretched, and under her feet is a globe with a serpent. These elements in iconography show her to be close to the type of the Blessed Virgin Mary the Most Gracious. The rays of grace emanating from Mary's lowered hands are perceived as a symbol of the grace granted by Mary and the fulfillment of requests.
The sculpture itself was white when it was built (bronze since 2008 for the 400th anniversary of the apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Šiluva).
The first Soviet repressions against religion in Šiluva began in 1958. Around 1960, the Soviet authorities ordered the removal of the statue of the Holy Virgin Mary. It was moved to the cemetery and a monument (plaque) was erected at the place where it stood "to the people of Šiluva who died for Soviet rule."
