  • 1916, 1989: Three Crosses (Lithuanian: Trys kryžiai) was designed by a Polish-Lithuanian architect and sculptor Antoni Wiwulski in 1916. It was constructed in Kalnai Park on the Hill of Three Crosses, in the place where the three wooden crosses used to stand at least since 1636. It was torn down in 1950 by order of the Soviet Union authorities. A new monument designed by Henrikas Šilgalis was erected in its place in 1989.[1]
