Route 2: The Nemunas River Route – Manors and Legends

This scenic route follows the majestic Nemunas River. It is often called the “father of Lithuanian rivers.” Following its banks, you will discover a chain of stunning castles and manors.

• Kaunas Castle
  Our journey begins in Lithuania’s second city at the Kaunas Castle. This 14th-century Gothic castle is one of the country’s oldest brick structures. It played a vital role in defending against the Teutonic Knights. Only a portion of the original fortress remains today. However, its round tower is a powerful symbol of the city’s resilience.
• Raudondvaris Castle
  Traveling downstream, we arrive at the elegant Raudondvaris Castle. This impressive Gothic-Renaissance manor has been a center of culture and nobility for centuries. Its beautifully restored red-brick facade and lush park make it one of the most picturesque stops on our tour.
• Raudonė Castle
  Further along the Nemunas, we find the striking Raudonė Castle. Originally a Teutonic fortress, it was later transformed into a grand Renaissance residence. The castle’s main highlight is its towering 33.5-meter-high keep. You can climb to the top for spectacular views of the river valley.
• Panemunė Castle
  Our final destination is the Panemunė Castle, arguably the most authentic and impressive Renaissance residential castle in Lithuania. Panemunė was built as a nobleman’s residence rather than a military stronghold. As a result, it showcases a fascinating blend of defensive features and luxurious living quarters. Its arcaded courtyard and elegant towers offer a perfect conclusion to our river journey.
