The parochial church of 'Ancient Brasov,' situated near Sprenghi Hill, is the oldest historical monument in the town. It was rebuilt after the Tartar invasion of 1241 and combines early Gothic architectural elements with a basilica-like layout, featuring three connected aisles, a transept, and a choir with a polygonal apse. The church's sanctuary and extensions exhibit characteristic narrow windows with circular poly-lobe rosaries and carved stone details in the Cistercian architectural style. Ottoman attacks in 1421 and 1438 led to the reconstruction of the vaults in the aisles and transept. Further renovations occurred between 1634 and 1663, and two towers were initially planned on the western side, with only one being completed in its current form in 1842. Additionally, a neo-Gothic parochial house was constructed in 1905.

The first wooden church was built in Raseiniai in 1416-1421 on the so-called Misijos Hill near the road to Jurbarkas. Priests of the diocese were residing at the church until 1642. One of the first known priests of the church at the end of the 15th century was called Peter. In 1642, Bishop of Samogitia Jurgis Tiškevičius invited Dominicans and transferred Raseiniai Church to them with the entire funding and the parish. Soon Pope Urban VIII legalized the settlement of monks in Raseiniai by his decree and King Wladyslaw IV Vasa confirmed the existing property of the monastery too, by also assigning 300 voloks of land with villages. In 1663, Dominican constructed the first wooden church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and in 1682 they built a wooden monastery. In 1729, the buildings were ignited by lightning. The new masonry church and the monastery were constructed in about 1783. It was designed by the then prior of the monastery, architect Liudvikas Grincevičius (born in 1717, died in 1783) reburied in Raseiniai church. In 1850, the church was consecrated by Bishop of Samogitia Motiejus Valančius. In 1886, the monastery was closed by the order of the Tsar, and the church was transferred to secular priests. As the Dominican province of the Guardian Angel with its center in Raseiniai was renewed in Lithuania, Dominican monks returned to Raseiniai Church and the monastery in 1932-1940. Father Bonaventura Pauliukas was appointed the Vicar General of the province. In 1934, as the 700th anniversary of the St. Dominican Canonization was commemorated, a monument for St. Dominic was built in the yard between the church and the monastery. In 1935, the Lourdes Chapel was constructed according to a project by engineer Antanas Adomenas. The Raseiniai Unit of Martynas Mažvydas National Library is currently functioning in the buildings of the monastery.

Hamabi is one of many such stones set up around the entrances to the important state institutions of Joseon Dynasty, including the royal ancestral shrine and royal palaces, commanding visitors or passerby to show respect by dismounting from their horses. The first such markers were wooden signs posted at the entrances to the royal ancestral shrine (Jongmyo) and royal palaces in 1413. However, these were replaced by stone markers in 1663 when Jongmyojeongyo Bridge, which leads to the royal ancestral shrine, was renovated. The name of the markers originated from the text engraved on the front surface: 'All officials, whatever their rank, are required to dismount from their horse'. Gradually, dismount markers were set up in other places, including the Munmyo Confucian Shrine and the birthplaces of great sages and scholar-statesmen.
