Visitors can explore the well‑restored castle tower, wander through its medieval corridors, and view temporary exhibitions of contemporary artists in the surrounding courtyard. The museum also hosts a range of free cultural events, educational programmes and family‑friendly activities that bring Kaunas’s heritage to life. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a family looking for interactive learning, or a casual visitor wanting to admire imposing brick architecture, Kaunas Castle offers a unique window into Lithuania’s storied past.
