Culture and History

Services were held in Lithuanian and German at the Lutheran place of prayer in Margiškiai.

The former primary school in Margiškiai was attended by children from Margiškiai and from the neighboring villages of Laužininkai and Urviniai.

The church of Margiškiai has not survived; it burned down at the beginning of the 20th century. The Margiškiai estate existed until the beginning of the 20th century. Then five brothers from the Nasvyčiai family bought it and divided it among themselves.

The historic settlement of Ariškėnai, whose site today includes, among other places, Margiškiai, probably already existed in the late 14th or early 15th century. Another possibility is that it arose after the older settlement of Ariškiai was divided.

Around 2015, the former site of Margiškiai became a meeting place for former residents and an attractive place to visit after an overgrown, neglected area was cleared.
