The Lieplaukė parish was established in 1844, and between 1861 and 1862, the current wooden church was built with funds from the parishioners. The church was consecrated by Bishop Aleksandras Beresnevičius in 1882. During World War I, the Germans took two of the church's bells. This church has a Latin cross layout with a single tower. It houses six altars, and the churchyard is enclosed by a stone wall, with a wooden belfry. Between the belfry and the church stands a wooden rectory, complementing the church complex.
