Kaunas Central Post Office
Kauno centrinis paštas
A 1932 modernist post office that blends Lithuanian folk ornament, and part of a World Heritage Site.
Designed by architect Feliksas Vizbaras and completed in 1932, it is one of the flagship works of the World Heritage Site “Kaunas Modernist Architecture: Architecture of Optimism (1919–1939).” Its exterior is a simple white volume. Inside, the floor and walls of the main hall incorporate traditional Lithuanian folk motifs, creating a refined decorative scheme. The post office was in use for a long time, and in recent years cultural institutions have taken it over to host exhibitions. Opening hours are irregular, but the exterior can be admired at any time. It is located beside Laisvės alėja.
