Hunter’s House / Medžiotojų namas

The building belonged to the family of the baron till 1938. Later, G. purchased the plot together with a portion of the plot. The new owner reconstructed the building; up to then, the house did not have verandas and was with a red-tile roof.

After World War Il, garrison officers occupied the building. In 1957-1970, the house was used by the poet Antanas Venclova. Following the Restoration of Independence, the house was returned to the descendants of G. In 2004, the building was granted the status of Immovable Cultural Heritage Property of Regional Importance.
