A singularly strange structure hidden across the tracks from the train station at Dariaus ir Girėno 93, this 30-metre white Turkish-style spike with a pointy red top was constructed between 1880 and 1887 by a Russian military hero by the unlikely name of Count Von Totleben who once owned the land on which it stands. Now in a state of serious disrepair, it’s still worth a visit, not least to its charming location in a wooded park among the remnants of an old manor. Open to the public, the minaret affords a spectacular view of the park it’s located in.
