Poet Onė Baliukone's hometown in Kančėnai

Museums and Galleries

You will be greeted by an almost 100-year-old garden in the homestead of the creator, who has earned her respect for Lithuania and her native land. A memorial stone dedicated to the memory of the poetess was erected near it. After opening the ancient gate of the farmstead, the path will lead you to a unique place in the garden - the Violet Cat's abode. The sculpture of a wonderful purple cat sitting on a bench is a visualization of the poet's significant dream (the author of the sculpture is folk artist Artūras Zienka). On the site of the non-surviving residential house, a book house was made and built according to individual order, in the shade of the apple trees in the garden - a reading bench. An exclusive space has been created for reading, relaxation, communication, creative activities, and events.
