Klaipėda County, Administrative division in western Lithuania
Klaipėda County extends along the Baltic Sea coast, encompassing the Curonian Spit and spreading across 5,222 square kilometers of varied landscapes including plateaus and lowlands.
The region underwent significant changes after World War II when the demographic composition shifted from predominantly German to a mix of Lithuanian and Russian populations.
The county maintains strong maritime traditions through its seaport activities, annual Sea Festivals, and the preservation of coastal heritage sites along the Baltic coast.
Seven municipalities form the administrative structure of the county, with Klaipėda city functioning as the primary economic center and main transportation hub.
The territory includes the UNESCO World Heritage Curonian Spit, featuring sand dunes between the Baltic Sea and the Curonian Lagoon.
