A 5 km walking route through Kaišiadorys takes you, among other places, to the railway station and the old water tower. The station is a reference point for two buildings of different ages: the viaduct dates from 1860, while the water tower was built in 1883 and designed by E. E. Frykas. The Brazauskų namai-muziejus adds to the architectural history with the family’s furniture, photographs, manuscripts, and books. Nearby, an educational program introduces the preparation and eating customs of Kakorai. The options therefore range from a walking route to architectural and family history, as well as preparing food together.

Explore Kaišiadorys on Foot

The route offers a practical option if you want to explore Kaišiadorys on foot: it is 5 km long, and destinations include the railway station and the old water tower. This gives you both a distance and specific landmarks to help plan your day. Check current route conditions locally. If you want a named walking route to structure your exploration, you can make it the focus; if you prefer to prioritize individual cultural themes, you can look to the buildings, the museum, or the nearby educational program.

Buildings at the Railway Station

At the railway station, you can compare the two buildings chronologically. The viaduct dates from 1860; the water tower was built in 1883, and its architect was E. E. Frykas. The dates are 23 years apart: the viaduct is the older of the two buildings. Their names also point to different types of structures: a viaduct is a bridge structure, while a water tower is a building for storing water. For architecture enthusiasts, this offers a concrete comparison of purpose, form, and date.

Family Artifacts and Kakorai

Furniture, photographs, manuscripts, and books belonging to the family are preserved at the Brazauskų namai-muziejus. The collection ranges from furnishings and images to written records. Its focus differs from that of the buildings at the railway station: here, the emphasis is on family artifacts. If you choose cultural destinations by theme, you can consider architecture and the family’s preserved belongings as distinct areas of interest. Photographs, manuscripts, and books complement the furniture with visual and written materials.

Near Kaišiadorys is the Žasliai Traditional Crafts Center. There, an educational program introduces the preparation and eating customs of Kakorai. Together with Nijolė Adukonienė, participants prepare Kakorai filled with carrots and onions; they then taste the dish with a sauce made from crispy pieces of pork, onions, butter, and sour cream. The program combines instruction, preparing the food together, and tasting it. This nearby activity differs from the walking route and historic buildings: the focus is on the hands-on preparation of the dish. Participation details may change; check the participation information before making plans.
