Prienai

A pocket-sized Lithuanian town on the Nemunas River, Prienai has a compact centre with cafés, restaurants, and a wooden church built in 1750, alongside a regional museum and a bronze monument to Grand Duke Kęstutis. The town square, Laisvės aikštė, sits close to the remains of a historic castle site, and the riverbank preserves buildings from one of Lithuania's largest former paper mills, active through the 18th and 19th centuries.
