Jonas Nepomukas Kasakauskas, Bishop of Vilnius, is buried in the basement of the chapel. A memorial plaque designed for him was hung on the left wall of the chapel. Statues of saints stand in the niches of the chapel. Above the chapel altar is the Crucifixion brought from Valavičiai chapel. (Description from Wikipedia)
