Dominating Nida's skyline, this modern construction that gives more than a passing nod to local building traditions was consecrated on June 14, 2003. The work of local architects Ričardas Krištapavičius and Algimantas Zaviša, and the first Catholic church on the Curonian Spit, the building is predominantly wooden and has a rare if not unique in Lithuania thatched reed roof. The church’s vast bell came from a foundry in Poland and is engraved with a mixed blessing of locally inspired prose and Psalm 90:17 in its entirety.
