Bridges

Kuršėnai is famous throughout Lithuania for the unique structure opened to the public in 2020, one of the most beautiful, modern and longest pedestrian bridges in Lithuania – 262 meters long – which connects the main square of the city – Laurynas Ivinskios Square – and the Kuršėnai Manor Park.

The newly opened new bridge has become one of the main attractions not only of Šiauliai district, but also of the entire Northern region, where people flock to take a walk and admire the magnificent panoramas of the Venta River and the city of Kuršėnai. The new pedestrian bridge provides convenient access to the restored Kuršėnai Gruževskii Manor Palace, which is a unique wooden architecture, the Šiauliai District Municipality Cultural Center, and the old city park, where the largest events and celebrations of Šiauliai district take place.

The Kuršėnai pedestrian bridge attracts visitors not only with its original appearance, but also with interactive and smart solutions. The bridge's decoration is made of corten, one of the most fashionable and durable materials currently used by architects and designers in Europe and around the world.

The territory on the right bank of the Venta River has pedestrian paths, a children's playground, outdoor exercise equipment, a pier, a swimming pool, an outdoor terrace and a green area. A café and a flower salon are located at the beginning of the bridge.
