Geocache Description:


Norint užregistruoti lobį reikia užeiti į vidų ir patyrinėti vidinį kiemą. Jei koncertai nevyksta užeiti į vidų galima pro pagrindinį įėjimą. Duotose koordinatėse užlipkite laiptais į kupolą. Viduje galima vaikščioti ir žvalgytis. Suraskite viduje originalias plyteles ir dekoracijas. Nuotraukoje nebūtinai turite matytis Jūs - galite nufotografuoti ir savo geocachinge naudojamą daiktą - (antspaudą, keliauninką, medinę monetėlę ir pan.). Jūs ar daiktas turi matytis nuotraukoje. Kupole galima užkilti ir į antrą aukštą, bei ten kur neužrakinta prieiti prie kamerų, ten kur žmonės buvo įkalinti.

Vidiniame kieme dažnai vakarais vyksta renginiai ir koncertai sezono metu. Tad į vidų patekti nepavyks, tad sulaukit kitos dienos arba suraskit:

  • cerkvę prie pagrindinio įėjimo,
  • aukštą tvorą su koncertina prie antro įėjimo.

Nusifotografuokit kad matytųsi šie objektai! Nuotraukoje nebūtinai turite matytis Jūs - galite nufotografuoti ir savo geocachinge naudojamą daiktą - (antspaudą, keliauninką, medinę monetėlę ir pan.). Jūs ar daiktas turi matytis abejuose nuotraukose.

 

To register this virtual cache you need to go inside and explore the inner courtyard. If concerts are not taking place, you can enter through the main entrance. At the given coordinates, climb the stairs to the dome. Inside you can walk and explore. Find original tiles and decorations inside. You don't have to be in the photo - you can also take a photo of your geocaching item (stamp, traveler, wooden coin, etc.). You or the item must be visible in photo. In the dome, you can climb up to the second floor and access the cells where people were imprisoned, where people were imprisoned.

The courtyard often hosts evening events and concerts during the season. So you won't be able to get inside, so wait another day or find:

  • church at the main entrance,
  • a high fence with a concertina at the second entrance.

Take a picture to see these objects! You don't have to be in the photo - you can also take a photo of your geocaching item (stamp, traveler, wooden coin, etc.). You or the item must be visible in both photos.

Darbo laikas/ Working hours - 12:00-24:00 every day

Today, the prison has acquired a new spirit and invites visitors to discover this mysterious area and feel its unique atmosphere. Go on day or night tours, see the cells of the prisoners, hear the most interesting stories and be ready for new experiences.

For 115 years, Lukiškės Prison was guarded by high walls and barbed wire, but today the site is open to the public. From prison to artistic venue, a new version – Lukiškės Prison 2.0 ­– is home to 250 creators and artists, and a place where curious spirits can learn and explore. Sit down for a refreshing drink, attend a concert or take a tour to get a glimpse of life in the former prison. This unique space has become a star on the silver screen as well. The location easily transforms to depict various spaces, and has even served as the backdrop for Stranger Things season 4.

Vilnius’ Lukiškės Prison has over one hundred years' worth of history. Once a fully-operational prison, it ceased to function as a confinement facility three years ago and opened its doors to the public and the artists. 

Lukiškės Prison, built right in Vilnius’ center and next to the main streets, was a modern complex compared to the monasteries which typically served as confinement facilities in 19th century Vilnius. It was the only prison to allow Russian-Orthodox, Roman-Catholic, and Jewish worship places. Criminals, political prisoners, and exiles served their sentences from 1904 till 2019. The Prison complex survived both World Wars and the Soviet occupation. 

Lukiškės Prison held many political prisoners of not only Lithuanian, but also Belarussian, Polish, and Jewish backgrounds who were not approved by various changing political regimes. Among the political prisoners, some were well-known social activists, political figures, writers, and signatories of the Act of Independence of Lithuania—people of different ethnic, political, and social standing who were not convenient to the political regimes of that time.  

Some notable figures who served sentences as political prisoners in Lukiškės Prison: Jonas Vileišis (imprisoned in 1916), a Lithuanian lawyer, social activist, and signatory of the Act of Independence; Julija Beniuševičiūtė-Žymantienė, known as Žemaitė, (imprisoned in 1915), a well-known Lithuanian author; Vincas Kudirka (imprisoned in 1895), the author of Lithuanian hymn; Menachem Begin (imprisoned in 1940), the Zionist activist who later became the Prime Minister of Israel; Leopold Tyrmand (imprisoned in 1941), a Polish author and editor; Maksim Harecki (imprisoned in 1922), a Belarussian political activist and author, and others.

Currently, the former confinement facility is called Lukiškės Prison 2.0 which signifies a new era, this time a cultural one. Already 250 artists, musicians, and creators have set up their studios in various areas of the building. The building complex now serves as an alternative venue for musical, cultural, and artistic events. The interior and the exterior of the prison have been carefully preserved to respect the century of history and the many notable political, social, and literary figures once confined in the building complex

Lukiškių kalėjimą 115 metų saugojo aukštos sienos ir spygliuota viela, tačiau šiandien ši teritorija laukia smalsių lankytojų. Šimtametis kalėjimas virto meno erdve „Lukiškių kalėjimas 2.0“, kurioje dirba net 250 kūrėjų ir menininkų. Prisėskite, atsigaivinkite gėrimu, mėgaukitės koncertu arba leiskitės į ekskursiją, kurios metu sužinosite apie gyvenimą kalėjime. Ši ypatinga erdvė jau spėjo pasirodyti ir kine. Tik, kadangi ji lengvai keičia savo veidą, ar atpažinsite ją garsiojo „Netflix“ serialo „Stranger Things“ 4-ajame sezone?

Lukiškių kalėjimas buvo vienas moderniausių visoje Rusų imperijoje, jame kaliniai atliko bausmę, dirbo, meldėsi ir gavo sveikatos priežiūros paslaugas. Nuteistieji čia buvo kalinami daugiau nei šimtmetį – per abu Pasaulinius karus, sovietmečiu ir Lietuvai atgavus nepriklausomybę. Paskutiniai kaliniai iš šio kalėjimo buvo iškelti tik 2019 metais. Įdomu tai, kad Lukiškių kalėjimas iki šiol išsaugojo originalius interjero ir eksterjero elementus – plyteles ir dekoracijas, tad ekskursijos metu atkreipkite dėmesį į šį šimtmečio paveldą.
