In 1796, Ignas Moriconis, the owner of Aleksandravėlė Manor, built a classical-style stone masonry church, which has been preserved to this day. The white-plastered building stands out for its architectural beauty and historical significance. Inside the church, visitors can admire luxurious chasubles—ornate liturgical garments—and various ecclesiastical items, reflecting a rich sacred heritage.

In 1863, the cemetery chapel became a key site for insurgents, serving as a place to hide weapons during the uprising. This historical event adds to the site's significance, attracting history and cultural heritage enthusiasts.
