Perkun's House - Adam Mickiewicz Museum in Kaunas

Perkuna House, which now houses the Adam Mickiewicz Museum, is a beautiful Gothic building in the centre of Kaunas that was built at the beginning of the 16th century. The founders of the building were probably Hanseatic merchants from Gdansk. Its name comes from the fact that a statue of this deity was found in it in the 19th century. Adam Mickiewicz frequented the building as it housed a theatre during his lifetime.

Early 16th century.
