The small and very simple Jaunborne Holy Cross Catholic Church was built in 1859 at will of Polish landlord Julius Sivickis. In 1890 it was rebuilt. In 1921 it was renewed. It is interesting for art admirers, the most interesting things are - woodcarving of organ prospectus, which, probably, is a part of mannerism style from Elerne Church's furnishing. There is a cemetery around the church. In its centre there are burials of Sivickis family.
