Count Tiškevičiai Alley

More than 120 years ago, Count Juozapas Tiškevičius created this authentic alley, which was the first park in Palanga and the center of the resort at that time. Today, the alley is used for walks and stretches from Kurhauzas to Kęstučio Street. Walking along this path, you can also visit the Palanga Concert Hall and participate in various events. The Tiškevičiai Alley, beloved by Palanga residents and visitors alike, has become a popular place for walks and meetings.
The reconstructed Tiškevičiai Alley takes you back in time – this public space is imbued with the spirit of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The renovated alley is a token of gratitude from the residents of Palanga to the founders of the resort, the Counts Tiškevičiai. It is therefore no coincidence that the alley is adorned with two sculptural compositions consisting of bronze sculptures of Countess Antanina Sofija Loncka-Tiškevičienė and Count Feliksas Tiškevičius. Compositionally, these two sculptures form a single work, connecting the part of the alley that falls within the territory of the Palanga Kurhauzo building. Their creators are sculptor Klaudijus Pūdymas and architect Snieguolė Stripinienė.
The sculptures are connected by a decorative stainless steel strip on the pavement, on which the Tiškevičiai family motto is engraved in Latin and Lithuanian in a repeating pattern: “Deligas quem diligas” and “Išsirink, ką myli” (Choose whom you love).
The Tiškevičiai Alley is also decorated with original retro-style lamps, paving, and small architectural features.
Another decoration of the alley is the historic gate with carvings, restored on Kęstučio Street, which has long symbolized that summer visitors are welcome and invited to visit the Kurhaus established in the Tiškevičiai resort. According to material collected by researchers of the history of old Palanga, the carved wooden gates were built according to a collection of illustrations prepared by Richard Dorschfeldt and published in Stuttgart in 1901, entitled “Holzbauten der Gegenwart” (“Contemporary Wooden Buildings”). According to historians, this album is the main source for the design of the wooden structure known as the gates of the Palanga resort.
