En: Pandelys ( pronunciation (help·info)) is a city in northern Lithuania. It is located some 26 km (16 mi) west from Rokiškis, on the road to Biržai. Apašcia River originates near the city and flows through it. Alternate names: Ponedel (Yid, Rus, Pol), Pandelis, Ponedeli, Ponidel, Pondele, Ponedele, Russian: ????????. ?????????-Yiddish
The origins of the name are associated with trade. One explanation goes that the name was derived from a word meaning "warehouse." Merchants from Vilnius and Riga would meet and exchange the goods somewhere in the area. Lithuanians called their storage places podelis and Latvians – pondelis. The other explanation claims that the name comes from panedelis – Monday, the day of the week when the market was open.
The town is first mentioned in 1591. The manor belonged to the Rajecki family, who sold it to the Koscialkowskis in 1767. The new owners, Stumbrai, demolished the manor. Only a park is left, planted according to Italian traditions. Ignacy Koscialkowski built a brick church in 1801. Antanas Strazdas, a famous poet, worked for short period in the church.
