    Missing the Resurrection Church project by Karolis Reisonas here, too! It would’ve completely bankrupted the country but hey ho, it would’ve been a landmark.

    Many of them were actually built:

    • 3rd one now is KTU Faculty of Chemistry
    • 5th one, Darius and Girėnas monument was built in 1993
    • 6th one is now the main building of Kaunas city municipality
    • 9th one – Laisvės Avenue has some construction in this site now

    Yeah sorry for the 3rd one, you are righ about this one.

    5th it was an unrealised project, becouse the current one was built in 1993

    6th is an proposal/project for the building that was built.

    9th is just a fun vision

    Interwar government were planning to build a fancy presidential palace in Kaunas when ww2 already began. Just shows how out of touch delusion of neutrality was.
