Perkūnas Oak, Historical oak in Plungė Manor Park, Lithuania.

The ancient oak tree stands 25 meters tall with a trunk diameter of 1.65 meters, situated near the Oginskis Palace in Plungė Manor Park.

The oak received recognition as a natural monument in 1960 and later gained status as a monument of national importance in 1987.

Lithuanian folklore tells of priestess Galinda who maintained an eternal flame near the oak during pre-Christian times in the region.

The oak tree is located at coordinates 55°55′03.3″N and 21°50′37.3″E, within walking distance from the Plungė Manor main buildings.

The tree gained its name after Perkūnas, the Baltic thunder deity, following a legend about a lightning strike that created a hollow where a flower grew.
