Fodor's Expert Review Klaipeda Castle Museum

This museum is housed in the remnants of Memelburg Castle, which dates from the 13th century, when the town was known as Memel and was a stronghold for the Teutonic Knights. The museum opened in 2002, in honor of the city's 750th anniversary. It shows the development of Klaipeda from the 13th to 20th century, with various objects such as documents, city stamps, and costumes, as well as a model of Klaipeda and the city’s Renaissance symbol, a golden ring with a diamond.
