Klaipėda Castle reconstruction and adaptation for conference and tourism needs

Along the banks of the Dane River lies a historically significant piece of Klaipėda's ancient past. Within the remains of a 16-17th century caslte and bastion, the city plans to establish a museum and international conference centre by reconstructing and modernizing this important landmark. Upon completion, this project will bring revitalization to this historical centre of Klaipėda.

Realization of this project aims at revitalizing the historic center of the city, and totally withdrawing production operations from it.

Its total area of the territory comprises 23 ha. Part of it -about 14 ha is already owned by private capital and the State Sea Port Authority. The remaining part, the most valuable one historically - the complex of the former castle with a defensive ditch and part of the Dane river embankments - are in municipal ownership

Estimated value of the project is ~ 46 mln. EUR
