Utena

Local museum with archaeological, ethnographic and religious exhibits. Signage is only in Lithuanian.

RC parish church built in red brick in 1884 after its wooden predecessor burned down. It has a free-standing bell tower, and a much older cemetery.

A small Orthodox church built in 1989, looking like a Dutch barn. The town's Orthodox congregation number about 30.

Striking modern building from 1992, on the "Hill of Suffering" where many partisans lie buried. On its east flank is a Soviet WWII military cemetery. There are regular Sunday services.

This small museum is the wooden station house and water tower of the narrow-gauge railway, dismantled in 1972.

Built of wood in 1991 in Russian traditional style. From 1652 the Russian orthodox church re-aligned its liturgy and rites with the Greek orthodox. There was a furious reaction and schism, and those who wouldn't accept the changes were persecuted. These "Old Believers" scattered across the Tsarist domains, decrying the Antichrists who'd taken over, and insisting on making the Sign of the Cross the traditional way so not the ungodly new way so. In Utena an Old Believer congregation coalesced from the 1950s as they abandoned farming for town life, and by Independence they numbered 1000 and had enough money for their own church.
