About the Church

The Church of St James the Apostle in Jonava is a Classicist church of rectangular plan, built in 1793 in the settlement of Jonava. Important people are buried in the church, such as Bishop Juozapas Kazimieras Kosakovskis and the Grand Hetman of Lithuania Simonas Martynas Kosakovskis. The building was repaired and repainted through the efforts of parish priest Petras Vaitiekūnas in 1934–1935, and it passed to the parish in 1907. The churchyard has two kinds of fences – one of stone masonry with the main gate, and a metal one with masonry posts.
