Kaunas County

Among Lithuania’s regions, Kaunas County stands out for Kaunas, set at the confluence of the Nemunas and Neris rivers. In central Lithuania, the county brings together an urban core, river valleys, farmland and woodland. Kaunas is Lithuania’s second-largest city and served as the country’s temporary capital from 1920 to 1940, an era that produced an exceptional concentration of modernist architecture. “Modernist Kaunas: Architecture of Optimism, 1919–1939” joined the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2023. The Old Town includes Gothic Kaunas Castle and the Town Hall, while the Kaunas Reservoir extends east towards Pažaislis Monastery.
