The Kėdainiai Old Town Square, established in the early 17th century, was not only the city’s commercial center but also a hub of cultural activity. The square’s formation is closely linked to the arrival of German merchants from the Kneiphof district of Königsberg. It is believed that these merchants purchased Lithuanian horses here, which were highly valued in Prussia.
In 1652, Duke Jonušas Radvila built a wooden Orthodox church and founded a men’s monastery on the southern side of the square. Although the monastery did not survive and the church is now preserved at the Lithuanian Open-Air Museum in Rumšiškės, this historical heritage remains an important part of Kėdainiai’s identity and its rich cultural history.
