The origins of the Orthodox parish in Kyedani date back to 1645, when Janusz Radziwiłł married the second wife Maria Lupu. In 1854 Count Marian Czapski, the owner of Kiejdan, gave the Orthodox community a brick building, which was rebuilt into an Orthodox church according to the design of architect S. Ikonikow. After the fire in 1893, Piotr Stołypin helped raise funds for the renovation of the church. At the beginning of the 20th century, a foreman from Saint Petersburg was invited to paint the walls and ceiling of the church. Currently, the church works, inside there are pictures from the 20th century, as well as several valuable icons. A memorial plaque was erected near the church in memory of Piotr Stolypin - the most prominent member of the orthodox community of Kyedani. The board was unveiled on September 21, 2012. Bas relief was created by the sculptor Romas Vilčiauskas, while the author of the composition is Arvydas Urbelis. The church is open during services.
