Central Building of the Old Post Office of Klaipėda – an Architectural Masterpiece Ringing the Bells

I-VII 24/7 (outside)

4.5

The Klaipėda Post Office complex, which has survived on Liepų Street, is an architectural ensemble of three buildings with a distinct historical character. The central piece features a two-storey building with an attic complemented with two single-storey buildings on its sides, one of which used to house warehouses and a stable, and the other a carriage house. The buildings are constructed of red clinker bricks and decorated with green glazed ceramic details.

 

The ensemble incorporates the features of three architectural styles, however, the predominant one is Neo-Gothic, which is revealed by pointed arched pediments, trefoil and quatrefoil decorative elements, and carved doors with metal grilles. The symmetrical buildings are united by an ornate fence with brick pillars inspired by the Classicist Style. You can also visit a representative hall that has survived inside.

 

The Klaipėda carillon operating in the tower is one of the two existing in Lithuania. The 48 bells cast in the Netherlands have been ringing for many years during festivals and concerts and have become part of the acoustic landscape of the city. Their music continued the tradition of medieval chimes, when the bells counted the time and the sounds were produced by musicians called eirman, who were pulling ropes manually. The Old Post Office of Klaipėda is a living symbol of connection with the world, testifying to the aesthetic and historical change of the city.

 

Address: Liepų Str. 16, Klaipėda

The Central Post Office currently operates at Herkaus Manto Str. 7.
