Fachwerk buildings

With their distinctive German influenced timber frames (or Fachwerk), the buildings of Klaipėda old town’s so-called Art’s Yard are unlike those in any other Lithuanian city. You don’t need to be an architecture nut to be able to appreciate the harmony of vertical, horizontal and diagonal timber work that is unique to this very German style. And for that truly cultural experience, you’ll find that many of these 19th c buildings have been transformed into small galleries and workshops that you can visit and explore.
