For a long time, a wooden chapel stood at the place of the apparition of the Virgin Mary. The brick chapel was designed for the 300th anniversary of the apparition of the Virgin Mary in Šiluva (architect A. Vivulskis). The cornerstone was consecrated by priest and poet Maironis in 1912. The chapel, which is 44 meters tall, was finished in 1924. Inside it, the altar was built on the stone of the Apparition with a sculpture of the Virgin Mary above.
