During renovation work at the rectory of Batakiai Lutheran church, a historical weather vane dated 1926 was uncovered, although the circumstances of how it ended up there remain uncertain. This discovery highlights the building's historical significance as it contributed to the development of the parish complex since the church was consecrated in 1885, followed by the construction of various structures including a cantorate for educational purposes.

The rectory, part of the expanding church complex, was partially fitted for use by 1928, indicating the necessity of the building for the local community at the time. The finding of the weather vane serves as a testament to the architectural work and planning involved in the church's development, further connecting the community to its historical roots.

Batakiai church's history is notably resilient; it has never been closed, with services continuing through both World Wars. This uninterrupted service highlights the church's enduring role as a spiritual center for the community, and the recent discovery of the weather vane reinforces the historical legacy that the church and its associated buildings have in the region.
