About

Antanas Baranauskas's Cottage is a small wooden granary where the young Antanas Baranauskas lived and wrote. It is closely associated with his poem "Anykščių šilelis".

The cottage is part of the A. Baranauskas and A. Žukauskas-Vienuolis Memorial Museum, so the visit is worth combining with the home of the writer Antanas Vienuolis.

Tip: The museum is close to the town centre – you can walk there from St. Matthew's Church.
