St. Peter and Paul is a three-aisled brick basilica without a transept. It has five nave and four choir bays with a 3/6 apse. The west facade is flanked to the south by the 41 m high, simple, square bell tower. Gothic forms are mainly preserved in the chancel and apse, while the nave was redesigned in the Renaissance and early Baroque periods. The Sacrament Chapel on the south side of the choir is an independent neo-Gothic building. Characteristic of the external effect are the white plastered accents of the gable triangle, the soffits and the architraves, which contrast with the brick red (Wikipedia).

The medieval Kaunas Castle was built at the confluence of the Nemunas and Neris rivers to fend off frequent attacks by the Teutonic Knights. The country's oldest stone castle is the only one with two rows of defensive walls (as you can imagine, the Teutonic Knights were quite good at attacking cities).

Great place to run by and close to the pedestrian street Laisvės Alėja. There is an athletic running rink nearby as well, but in winter it can be snowy and icy here.

Extremely nice place, but take some booze with you, because it is quite expensive here.

Beautifully restored castle complex. Unfortunately not open every day. However, the outside area is freely accessible.
