Church of Saint George Dubingiai

Church of Saint George Dubingiai

Dubingiai church burned to the ground twice in the 6th decade of the last century. In 1954, the wooden church that had served the parish since the second half of the 17th century burned down, and four years later, the old wooden chapel built by Liudvika Karolina Radvilaitė in the cemetery, where a prayer house was installed after the first fire. Now, a new Church of Saint George has been built by the care of businessmen Aurelija and Aurelijus Rusteikos.

The wooden frame of the building was erected in the place where the old church was. The new church is similar in size to the old one. The architecture of the cross-plan church – laconic and traditional expressions, simple Lithuanian materials are used: glued wood, glass, and the roof and walls are covered with special tiles resembling shingles - boards used to cover roofs in ancient times. The church ensemble includes the surviving old bell tower in the corner of the churchyard, a stone fence, and a restored gate. Every year in the month of April in Dubingiai, Saint George's indulgences are held.
