Kužiai Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Battle site

A wooden single-nave church of harmonious proportions stands in the center of the town of Kužiai.

Kužiai Church is one of the few churches in Lithuania that suffered so much from both world wars. The wooden church built in 1873 burned down during the First World War, as the front moved, so a temporary one was built in its place in 1920, thanks to the care of Pastor Adolfas Kleiba.

A new massive reinforced concrete church was built in 1929–1932. In 1944, the church was again destroyed by the advancing front. Around 1965, the remaining walls of the church were blown up.

In 2013, on the occasion of the 360th anniversary of the Kužiai Church, a commemorative plaque was unveiled near the masonry remains of the destroyed church, reminding that the surviving masonry structures are fragments of the church destroyed during the war in 1944.
