The Church of the Holy Virgin Mary, Mother of Mercy, was built on the top of the Pūškai Hill.
On the Prūtas Lake peninsula, on the border with Belarus, at the higher end of a massive hill stands the Pūškai hillfort, dating back to the first half of the 1st millennium. The slope of the hill to the Prūtas Lake reaches up to 15 m. The hillfort was greatly enhanced by the church of the Holy Virgin Mary, Mother of Mercy, built on it in 1845 (initially as a stone burial chapel) (the church was restored in 1970). Next to the church is the old Pūškai manor cemetery, where the Pisani family gravesite has survived.
The church is in the form of a traditional residential house. Services are held in Lithuanian and Polish.
