Architecture

There are several well-known architects with ties to Lithuania who have made contributions to the field. During the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries, Johann Christoph Glaubitz, Marcin Knackfus, Laurynas Guceviius, and Karol Podczaszyski played a crucial role in introducing the Baroque and Neoclassical architectural movements to Lithuanian architecture. Additionally, Lithuania is famous for its many castles. There are about twenty castles in Lithuania. Some castles have to be rebuilt or survive partially. Village life has existed in Lithuania since the reign of Vytautas the Great. There are numerous ethnic settlements in Lithuania, including Zervynos and Kapiniks.

Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipda, Alytus, Panevys, and iauliai are home to 40% of Lithuania's population. Despite an increase in population density, Lithuania's population has decreased overall as a result of high mortality rates and low birth rates. Due to Lithuania's chilly climate, the World Bank provided funding for the Lithuania Energy Efficiency Housing Project between 1996 and 2001. This project upgraded the thermal temperatures in some of Lithuania's homes.
