Biržai Castle is the only bastion-type fortress in Lithuania, which has also been best preserved in northern-eastern Europe. In the 16th century, a representative palace, an evangelical reformed church, an arsenal, food warehouses, barracks and other buildings were constructed. The fortress and the town formed an exceptional and solid defence complex. The bastion-type castle in the Renaissance style, the construction of which was concluded in 1589, currently represents an invaluable monument of history and architecture.

In written sources, the castle of Klaipėda was first mentioned on 29 July 1252 – in a document where-by the master of the German Order and the bishop of Kuršas agreed on the construction of a castle be-tween the rivers Nemunas and Danė. For many cen-turies, the castle suffered from aggressive attacks, was burned, destroyed and reconstructed again. Currently, the site of the castle invites visitors to see excavated remains and the foundations of the castle. In the museum of the castle, visitors can walk on the oldest pavement of Klaipėda, which was laid in the 16th century.

Manor houses of Lithuania were famous for their traditions of production of fresh cheese already in the Middle Ages. The production process has remained almost unchanged to these days. Fresh cheese, pressed according to old Lithuanian traditions, is often seasoned with coarse salt, chopped garlic or caraway seeds and is considered as an exceptional gift for a foreign guest interested in the country’s culinary heritage. In 2013, the European Commission included fresh cheese into the list of protected products.
