In the summer of 1908, Sofija Kymantaitė and Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis, the betrothed pair, spent a whole month in Palanga. In a horse-drawn carriage the couple went from Palanga to Plungė, where Sofija had the goal to introduce Konstantinas, her future husband, to uncle priest Vincentas Jarulaitis (according to the priest, the intention was a bit belated) and her parents. The couple spent an incredibly romantic August and September in a welcoming embrace of dear people. In June–September 1909, the young family returned to Plungė again. They settled in the parsonage’s two small rooms, and, according to M. K. Čiurlionis, a huge living room became his workshop. It was the artist’s mature period, when in addition to dreams, bright aspirations, moments of noble love, over 20 paintings were created, including Žemaičių koplytstulpiai (Wayside Crosses of Samogitia), Karalių pasaka (Fairy Tale of Kings), Pilies pasaka (Castle Fairy Tale), Angelėliai (Angels (Paradise)) and Aukuras (The Altar). That summer they both jointly worked on the book of articles Lietuvoje (In Lithuania).

To commemorate the birth centenary of the artist in 1975, inspired by M. K. Čiurlionis’ painting Žemaičių kryžiai (Samogitian Crosses) the folk artists Liudas Ruginis, Vaclovas Banevičius and Vytautas Bytautas created roofed pillars, which stand in the courtyard of the parsonage. The commemorative plaque by the sculptor Vytautas Juzikėnas was unveiled on the wall of the old parsonage of Plungė.
