Kėdainiai City Park, located on the site of the former Kėdainiai Manor, covers an area of 37.26 hectares and is one of the first landscaped parks in Lithuania. It was established in the early 19th century when Kėdainiai was acquired by Count Pranciškus Čapskis in 1811. In 1845, the park and manor were renovated by Marijonas Hutten Čapskis, who expanded the Dotnuvėlė River, created ponds with islands and bridges. After the 1863 uprising, the manor was passed to General Eduard Totleben, who further reconstructed the manor and park. Around 1880, Totleben built a 28-meter-high Muslim minaret, which still attracts visitors today.
After World War II, the manor house was destroyed, but the park retained its cultural and recreational value. Today, the park features pedestrian and bicycle paths, as well as roller and skateboard rinks. The main entrance is from J. Basanavičius Street, and the minaret can be accessed via the railway station.
