Kėdainių miesto seniūnija Essentials

Kėdainiai is defined by its exceptionally well-preserved 17th-century Old Town and a rare legacy of religious tolerance. As the former seat of the powerful Radziwiłł family, the city showcases a diverse architectural landscape, including one of Lithuania's few remaining Renaissance town halls, Gothic and Baroque churches, and a unique complex of two synagogues. Visitors can explore the ducal mausoleum, a rare free-standing minaret, and historic streets that reflect the centuries-long coexistence of Scottish, Jewish, and German communities.
