During the First World War, the Russians, invading the Klaipėda region, immediately destroyed its tower with cannon shots. After invading the town, they started to destroy the altar, the organ, other inventory. The church was so devastated that it was not possible to finally rebuild it until 1924. However, the Second World War spared them - the building remained undamaged. However, the community was reborn in 1947 by the efforts of cantor Pėteris Knispelis. In addition to him, priests J. Kalvanas of Tauragė parish and other clergymen held services here.

The fate of the Lauksargiai church building, like that of the parish itself, is complicated.

The date of establishment of the town is considered to be 1760. The place name of Skaudvilė is of surname, derived from Mr. Skaudvilis of those places. The town started to expand after the construction of the Riga - Karaliaučius highway in 1847. Skaudvilė was a trading town, where merchants from Königsberg, the Russian Empire, Poland and other parts of Lithuania came here.


The town itself is a monument of urbanism. The beginnings of this plan date back to the 19th century. At the beginning, when a section of the main street between the church and the road junction turned into a square.



In ancient times, the Skaudvilė area belonged to the land of Karšuva. The village and mound of Karšuva are nearby.

Initially, steam engines operated in it, later replaced by electric motors. Until the Second World War, a sawmill also operated there. Unfortunately, the half-timbered structure with red brick filling was concealed behind plaster in 1988. The founding year of the company, 1922, is still preserved on the main facade. The motor mill holds historical, technical, and architectural value. After the war, the "Jūra" mill operated here, grinding grain, operating a boiler, and cutting timber. In the 1970s, the mill was unused, and a monument workshop was set up here. The half-timbered building from the early 20th century is an important object in the city's development. Also valuable is the technological equipment that has survived in it. The mill, as a cultural heritage object, is included in the "Cultural Heritage and History Symbols of Tauragė City" route.



To this day, the city still retains the 1922 motor mill built by Hirsh Gitkin, a four-story motor mill with a half-timbered structure.

In the village of Pagramančio, a proud mound stands, leaning against the rushing stone. This nature, historical, and archaeological monument of Pagramančio Regional Park was arranged and prepared for visitors in 2014. The slopes of the mound are steep, rising more than 20 meters. Although this mound has not been extensively explored, it is speculated to have been inhabited from the 1st millennium BCE to the beginning of the 2nd millennium CE. The Pagramančio mound is now part of a educational trail. From it, one can behold not only stunning sunrises but also the landscape of Pagramančio village, the expanse of Pagramančio, the meadows and forests of the regional park, as well as glimpse the Akmena River and the Gramančios stream. Paths, benches, a viewing platform, and a picnic area are set up on the mound. Every year, the Midsummer Festival takes place here, attracting guests from surrounding towns and villages.

The Pagramančia Outcrop is a cliff on the left bank of the Akmena River, situated in a stunning loop of the river, in the northern part of the Pagramančia town. The height of the outcrop is 29–31 meters, and its length along the river is 203 meters. The value of the Akmena Valley outcrops lies in their representation of the middle and upper Pleistocene epochs, akin to an opened book of the Ice Age. Its pages consist of layers of moraine clay, sand, silt, and clay, left by the glaciers that once covered Lithuania. The outcrop represents nearly 200 thousand years of geological history of the Pagramančia surroundings and the southern Žemaitija highlands.

On its surface, there is a depression about 3 cm deep, resembling a large footprint, with a length of over 60 cm and a width of 20-25 cm. This could have been an interstice of another rock. The boulder was brought from Scandinavia, but determining the exact location is impossible without special research. It seems that it could have come from northwestern Sweden or Finland.
