House of Perkūnas

One of the few surviving Gothic-style houses. Only this time I noticed similar decorative elements to those on St. Anne's Church in Vilnius. You could call this house's style "Flamboyant Gothic." It's eye-catching and captivating. A very beautiful house.

Unfortunately, this museum is opened only once a week and this situation doesn’t enable much people to see it inside - including me. As a Pole, I am pleased with the subject matter and the commemoration of Mickiewicz. Outside the house looks incredible, great example of gothic architecture. The details are impressive. Tip - there are nearby murals dedicated to our poet. There is even a box in which Pan Tadeusz is hidden. It moves you deeply!

The House of Perkūnas is a beautiful and historically significant building in the heart of Kaunas. Its Gothic architecture stands out and adds character to the Old Town. It’s definitely worth a quick visit if you’re exploring the area. While the facade is impressive and well-preserved, the overall experience didn’t quite have a “wow” effect. It’s more of a visual landmark than a place to spend a lot of time, unless you’re deeply interested in local history or architecture. Still, a charming and elegant stop on any Kaunas walking tour!

A bit mystical building in Kaunas) You're strolling through the Old Town and suddenly notice this house. It amazes with a strange gothic architecture and its rich history. This building was built as merchant's office. Then it eas sold to Jesuits and was used as a chapel and school. You can get inside now and take a look at this building but it could be closed temporarily. Anyway, it's a must-see attraction in Kaunas)

Amazing looking old building, I couldn't enter, as it was not open, but beautiful to see even from outsida.

Magnificent building. It is a must see during visit in Kaunas. Just take few steps from central market and you travel in time to medieval times. Whole facade is very astonishing with it's intricate decorations. Maybe the surroundings isn't medieval at all, the house defends itself.

Unfortunately the visit to the house is possible only with appointment during summer. The external design is really interesting as it is has a lot of details which differentiate it from other gothic buildings with red bricks in Kaunas.

A beautiful building.
