Quote:

First wooden ortodox church was built here in 1347. Current church was built in 1514 by Konstantinas Ostrogiškis (pol. Konstanty Ostrogski, bel. Канстантын Іванавіч Астроскі) after famous victory in Orša/Orsha battle between Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Kingdom of Poland and Grand Duchy of Moscow armies. XVI c. transffered for Uniates. Church 1821 was closed, here was established gymnasium of Orthodoxes. During 1941-1991 church was closed, now transfered for Greek Catholic community. Mass are held in the Ukrainian language.

According lonelyplanet.com second best in the world beach is in Lithuania!

Curonian spit beach

Quote:

This 98km lick of sand is a wondrous mixture of dunes (some as high as 200m) and forest – the smell of pine will impart an otherworldly quality to your hammock time. Wilhelm von Humboldt believed that a trip to the Curonian Spit was essential nourishment for the soul, and Thomas Mann was also a fan. It’s said that around 14 villages are buried under the endless, shifting dunes, making the Spit a kind of Baltic Sahara.
