Kaunas Mosque is one of the city's more unexpected landmarks: a compact brick mosque associated with Lithuania's historic Tatar Muslim community. Its presence near the centre adds a different layer to a city better known for interwar modernism, Catholic churches, and fortress remains.
The mosque is most rewarding as part of a walk through Kaunas's varied religious and civic architecture. Visitors should treat it as an active place of worship first, checking access and behaving respectfully if services or community events are taking place.
