Palūšė St Joseph's wooden church stands surrounded by nature – beside a multitude of interconnected lakes and rivers. In this landscape the Palūšė church stands out, built without iron nails, using only an axe. Its distinctive architectural forms, with an octagonal bell tower (the only one of its kind in Lithuania), charm even fans of old architecture who have seen it all. The bell tower resembles the watchtowers of ancient wooden castles. This architectural monument was built on inherited land by the priest Juozapas Baziliauskas. To this day it has not lost its historical and cultural value and is visited by many people, not only Lithuanians but guests from abroad too. At the entrance, on the door, people are greeted by the inscription: "Enter good, leave better". The church was built with two small towers, and the bell tower, whose bells were cast in the 18th century, stands to the west of the church, which has as many as three altars. Most interesting of all, this unique building in Palūšė reflects the oldest period of wooden church building in Lithuania. Inside, religious paintings and carvings have survived, and from the hill by the church there is an incomparable view over the expanse of Lake Lūšiai. This place is especially loved by those who want to be alone or simply to pray quietly and ask God for mercy and grace. The fairly large rectangular windows, which let natural daylight in, catch the eye. In the late 19th – early 20th century a Baroque-style organ was installed in the church, and it survives to this day. In 1994 the church was allocated state funding for restoration. Afterwards St Joseph's Church became much cosier – the paintings on the wood came out more clearly, and the building became more resistant to the elements. In the autumn of 2016 roof conservation work began – the roof covering was replaced and the rainwater drainage system was renewed. The beautifully kept surroundings of the church and the view of the lake will put you in the mood for a kayak trip on the clear lakes or a quiet rest by the water.
