House of Perkūnas, Gothic merchant house in Old Town, Lithuania.
The House of Perkūnas features brick walls, high-pointed arches, vaulted ceilings, and decorative elements characteristic of late Gothic architecture in Kaunas.
Hanseatic merchants constructed this building as their office in 1440, and it later became a Jesuit chapel in 1643 after changing ownership.
The Adam Mickiewicz Museum within the building presents exhibits about the renowned Polish-Lithuanian poet who attended performances in this location.
Located at 54.895556°N, 23.886111°E, the House of Perkūnas opens daily for visitors to explore its Gothic architecture and historical exhibits.
The building received its name after workers discovered an idol of Perkūnas, the Baltic thunder god, hidden within its walls during the 19th century.
