Sovetsk, Border town in Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia.
Located on the south bank of the Neman River at an elevation of 10 meters, Sovetsk forms the natural boundary between Russia and Lithuania.
Founded in 1288 around a Teutonic Knights castle named Schalauer Haus, the town gained prominence when the Treaties of Tilsit were signed in 1807.
The buildings of Sovetsk display Germanic architectural elements from the period when the town operated under the name Tilsit until 1945.
The Queen Louise Bridge connects Sovetsk to Lithuania, facilitating transportation and commerce between the two nations through regular border crossing services.
This regional center maintains traditions of cheese production, following methods established during its time as Tilsit, the original source of Tilsit cheese.
