The charge is related to the shrine in the centre of the town: on three sides of it there are 5 red hearts. <br> | |||
Two local legends exist about that shrine: | |||
# it is built in 1667 by local landlady Vazinskiene for the memory of her son tortured by the Swedes | |||
# it is built by local landlord Vazinskis for the memory of his servant tortured by the Swedes but who did not reveal the hiding place of the landlord's wife Vazinskiene and her 4 children. | |||
Historians say the shrine is built in 1867 for the memory of the uprising in 1863 and of its insurgents. | |||
All together, these hearts symbolize love, courage and fidelity. | |||
