About the place

The Historical Presidential Palace preserves the administrative heritage of Lithuania within the central fabric of Kaunas.

The Historical Presidential Palace stands as a preserved seat of national executive authority in Kaunas. The property combines formal neoclassical exterior elements with an enclosed public garden that borders the historic quarter. Visitors inspect preserved official staterooms, diplomatic reception halls, and documentary collections that outline the institutional governance of the state.
