Sculpture “The Boar”

The sculpture “The Boar” in Vepriai playfully reflects the town’s name origin, created in 2016 by sculptor Viktoras Žentelis. According to legend, “vepris” means “boar” in old Lithuanian. A tale tells of a squealing stone silenced when a nobleman passed by and said: “Why squeal like a boar?”
Now a symbolic landmark, the sculpture honors Vepriai’s identity, myths, and folklore. Located in the town center, it attracts tourists and locals alike—especially for the fun belief: rub the boar’s nose for good luck. A great spot for photos and local legend.
