Short description: Štikāni Old-Believers Prayer House. The old believer congregation was organized in Štikāni in 1700. The prayer house was built in the 1940s on the bank of a small river. The building was wooden and small. One night it burnt – after the service the prayers left the candles burning. The construction works of the church were later on the site of the previous church built by brothers Rogozini It is interesting fact that Štikāni was a surname for a lot of inhabitants of the village
One should see Gospel (the protected art object).
