Old Kaunas Dukes Palace, Gothic palace in Old Town, Kaunas, Lithuania
The Old Kaunas Dukes Palace stands at the intersection of Aleksoto and Muitines Streets, displaying Gothic architectural elements throughout its stone facade.
The structure transformed from a Franciscan monastery into a grand ducal residence in the 16th century, housing notable rulers including Casimir IV Jagiellon.
The palace functioned as a center for political negotiations and diplomatic meetings between Lithuanian rulers and foreign representatives during medieval times.
Located in the heart of Kaunas Old Town, the palace building now belongs to the Kaunas Academy of Arts, which manages its reconstruction.
The palace served multiple purposes through centuries, from a merchants house to a city hospital, and later as a psychiatric facility for 200 patients.
