Šventežeris creators and owners the dukes Radvilos were Calvinists, therefore, Trakai castellan Jurgis Radvila built in Šventežeris a wooden church of Calvinists in 1598. Under the conditions of Counter-Reformation times, a Dominican monk Stackevičius from Merkinė had organized Catholics from Šventežeris and in 1663 took up the church, which later was passed over to them.
