The Church of the Holy Virgin Mary, Help of Christians is the first and only Roman Catholic church in Neringa, officially opened on 14 June 2003.

The church of Nida was consecrated on 10 October 1888. The then Lutheran priest Gustav Echternach undertook the construction of the church.

After the winter of 1791, which was ominous for the village of Karvaičiai, as the settlement was completely buried by sand, some of the citizens moved to Juodkrantė and started building a church there.
