Church of St. Anthony of Padua (Lithuanian: Šv. Antano Paduviečio bažnyčia, Samogitian: Šv. Ontana Padovėitė bažninčė) is a Roman Catholic church in Ukrinai, Lithuania.

## History

[edit]

The first church in Ukrinai was consecrated in 1784. Its construction was probably funded by a nobleman Laurynas Pilsudskis.[1] The nobility of Ukrinai and Bukončiai built a new church in 1803, however it burnt down after around half a century.[2]

Current wooden church was built in 1857 and in 1913 it was enlarged.[2]

Since 1853 Ukrinai has been a filial of Židikai parish.[1]

## Architecture

[edit]

The church is rectangle, with two small towers. There are four altars. It reflects the characteristics of Lithuanian vernacular architecture.[1]

The main altar is a vernacular interpretation of Baroque[3]
