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