Adomynė Manor as well as surrounding manors belonged to Svėdasai, Šimonys and Skapiškis parishes. Adomynė itself belonged to Svėdasai parish. In order to get to the church, the inhabitants of this region had to walk or drive 8-15 kilometers. The owner of the Adomynė Manor, Adomas Vilėniškis, who was famous for his charitable works, decided to build a church in Adomynė with his own funds. After receiving permits, the construction of the church began in 1913, which was stopped by the outbreak of the First World War. After the death of the founder of the church, Adomas Vilėniškis, in 1921, his nephew priest Juozapas Vilėniškis continued the construction of the church. The church was consecrated in the name of the Blessed Virgin Mary on October 23, 1921. The church was 12 rods long and 6 rods wide, built of pine logs, and had three altars and two small sacristies.
