Kaunas Castle

Kaunas Castle, standing at the confluence of the Nemunas and Neris Rivers, is a must-visit for photo-travelers in Lithuania. This medieval fortress, dating back to the 14th century, has a rich history of sieges and reconstructions. What makes it particularly photogenic is its blend of architectural styles and the picturesque riverside setting. Don't miss capturing the unique octagonal tower, a rare element not commonly found in Baltic castles. For the best shots, visit during the golden hour when the soft light accentuates the castle's textures and colors. The nearby park and riverbanks offer splendid angles for panoramic views. Each season brings a distinct charm, with winters showcasing a fairy-tale-like landscape. Inside, the castle hosts exhibitions, providing contextual backgrounds perfect for storytelling through photography. Be sure to explore the surrounding Old Town for more architectural delights.
