MapBabriškiai Church of St. Michael the Archangel has deep historical roots dating back to 1724 when the first chapel was established in the village. In 1838, a stone masonry chapel was built, where services were occasionally held. In 1942, the Marian monk Father Juozas Rakickas settled in Babriškiai; he added a wooden sacristy to the chapel and built a modest parsonage. After the Old Varėna church burned down in 1944, the parish temporarily moved to Babriškiai, and the old chapel was converted into a full-fledged church.
