The churchyard includes a wooden cross with folk-art carvings and a four-sided bell tower clad in boards. Degučiai Church also has a pulpit connected to a confessional, made by local craftsmen in 1814. The church and its grounds are decorated with ornate metalwork by regional blacksmiths from various periods, including crosses, gates and window grilles.
