Tai nori pasakyt, kad Kauno katedra ne gotikinė?

[Depeched]

Noriu pasakyti kurio šaltiniu remiuosi, o Kauno katedra turi ir neogotikos bruožų.

Rimtai suklydau, visada galvojau, kad Kauno katedra didžiausia gotikinė bažnyčia

Nieko tokio,, čia panašiai, kaip žmonės mano, jog pirmoji barokinė bažnyčia LDK yra Šv. Kazimiero bažnyčia, tačiau tai netiesa, pirmoji pastatyta - Nesvyžiuje.

Bet juk ji pirmoji dabartinėje Lietuvos teritorijoje

The Tiškevičiai Palace is a Neo-Renaissance style building in Palanga, Lithuania, built for the Tiškevičiai family. The construction was started in 1893 and finished in 1897. The palace is surrounded by a park with ponds, fountains, and collections of rare plants. Since 1963 the palace has housed the Palanga Amber Museum and is surrounded by the Palanga Botanical Garden.

Something that really calls my attention and deserves recognition is how the builders/masons/architects/designers worked with very irregular floor plans to create highly symmetrical spaces. I find it really beautiful how they worked with the old floor plan to create something as beautiful as we can see today.

Very nice pics, but where did you get those funny names from?

Polish Wikipedia and other sources say that the name of Belgian architect was not "de Vegas", but de Waegh. And his Polish partner in that project was Tadeusz Rostworowski (buried on the Rasos/Rossa cemetery in Vilnius).

I think Lentvaris (Landwarów) was just one of the estates owned by Tyszkiewicz family down there.

BTW, here is the photo of the pre-War landlord of Landwarów estate:



Władysław Tyszkiewicz

Because im lithuanian and this is Lithuania i use lithuanian wiki.

[katsuma]

But those people, whose names were included in your posts, were not Lithuanian (Balts), plus this is a thread in the English-speaking section, therefore you should use the true, internationally recognised names of the individuals & families in question.

Anyway, it seems to be the style of Lithuanian users to lithuanize all the names (there had been a similar discussion in one of the Lithuania-related threads previously)...

[kaspis]

The Tyszkiewicz family was a wealthy and influential Polish-Lithuanian magnate family of Ruthenian origin, with roots traced to the times of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

So yeah i will call them Tiškevičiai and i dont really care what you think about this
