Tauragė
Lithuanian town on the Jūra River, close to the Kaliningrad border and not far from the Baltic Sea coast, with a compact centre holding cafés, restaurants, and a cluster of surviving historic buildings. These include a 19th-century castle that once served as Russian Empire customs, a post office from the same era, and churches spanning Lutheran (1843), Catholic (1904), and Orthodox (1933) congregations — a range that reflects the town's layered history despite heavy damage in both World Wars.
