Klaipėda City Municipality Essentials

Klaipėda, Lithuania’s only seaport, reflects its Prussian past through the Fachwerkhäuser architecture of the Old Town and the 13th-century foundations of Memelburg Castle. The city’s maritime identity is centered on the Danė River, home to the wooden barkentine Meridianas, and the Curonian Spit, where the Lithuanian Sea Museum occupies a 19th-century coastal fortress. Cultural landmarks range from the Clock Museum’s horological collection to the unique Soviet-era history of the Mary Queen of Peace Church and the modern outdoor gallery of the Sculpture Park.
