Count Tiškevičius Bridge

More than 100 years ago, Kretinga could be divided into two parts - the monastery and the manor. These two parts were connected by the love of Counts Tiškevičius for Kretinga. It was their family that financed the reconstruction of the Catholic church by enlarging it at the beginning of the 20th century, it also financed the construction of this bridge that connected these two parts of Kretinga in 1882. The qualitatively built bridge improved the connection between the manor and the city centre. The Tiškevičius family used to go to church over it, and it is used even now when walking or driving along the renovated Vilnius Street. The bridge comfortably hugs the bed of the Dopultis stream rushing towards the Akmena river, and its ancient masonry can be admired when visiting the Lourdes. This bridge has recently been named after Count Juozapas Tiškevičius.
