The Hunter’s House

The building was built at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century as a hunting lodge for Baron Ungem von Sternberg. It belonged to the baron’s family until 1938, when Gabriel Milašius bought it and part of the land. The new owner rebuilt the house, which previously had no verandas and a red-tiled roof. In 1939, the owner added verandas on three sides and decorated them with wood carvings. The building was designed by the first architect of Palanga, V. Lvov.

After the Second World War the house was used as a military base. In 1957-1970 the house was used by the poet Antanas Venclova, after the restoration of independence the house was returned to the descendants of G. Milašius. In 2004, the building was granted the status of an immovable cultural property of regional importance.
