Rageliai Holy Virgin Maria Church

Village’s most beautiful building – wooden St. Church of the Virgin Mary, built in 1875. Its form reminds a folk architecture, has neo-gothic features, a single nave.

The cemetery is surrounded by a stone masonry wall with three metal gates and towers. Here stands a three-stages belfry which is higher than a church. Belfry is decorated with wooden cornices. The most important thing in it is a large copper bell. Powerful sound of bell was heard all over the area. During war it was hidden in case Germans could not use it for cannons. The bell was not pulled out of hiding place during Russia occupation. Rageliai village bell rang again only after the war. The bell rang three times a day: in the morning,at noon and in the evening.
