Kaunas Town Hall
Kauno rotušė
A Baroque and Classicist town hall nicknamed “White Swan,” standing in the middle of Old Town Square. It now serves as a wedding registry office.
Built in the 16th century and later remodeled in Baroque and Classicist styles, the town hall earned its nickname “White Swan” from its 53-meter-tall white tower. Today it is mainly used as a wedding registry, and on weekends newlyweds can often be seen taking photos. The basement houses a ceramics museum. The Town Hall Square is surrounded by merchants’ houses, a Jesuit church and the Church of St. Francis Xavier, making it the heart of the Old Town and a center for festivals. You can view the exterior for free; the interior is open only during events or when the museum is open.
