Make Your Own Stove Tile
Did you know that Kaunas Castle is the oldest brick castle in Lithuania? It is even older than Kaunas itself. The castle not only stood strong in defending the country against the Crusaders, but also served as a place for Lithuanian rulers to receive nobles, foreign envoys, and other distinguished guests. We have put together the colourful history of Kaunas Castle like a mosaic of different periods and invite you to explore it.

About the tour
Do you know what a stove tile is? And how people used to heat their homes in ancient times? We invite you to explore the archaeological finds unearthed in Kaunas Old Town from the 15th and 17th centuries , to see what beautifully tiled stoves were used by the townspeople, the nobility, and the rulers of Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Later, in a creative workshop, you will be able to try your hand at medieval craftsmanship and mould (and decorate) a souvenir fragment of a tiled stove out of clay.
This activity is also available in English and Russian Can be adapted for other age groups. Passport to Culture activity (for pupils in grades 5th- 8th).
