Seduva Travel Guide

 js77 Says:  This is very nice church (Sv. Kryziaus Atradimo baznycia - in Lithuanian). Not perfectly restored, but maybe it is even better. You can feel it's really old. There are some wooden sculpures in the garden around the church - the same kind you can see in Siauliai. 

 matcrazy1 Says:  Generally the town of Seduva looks like an old and large village where time stopped long time ago. I stopped my car by the church took a short walk around the town. I've seen many neglected, old little houses, rarely wooden, mostly brick. Their yards were sometimes messed,... 

 matcrazy1 Says:  I have seen first signs of incoming modern civilisation in Seduva. In 2004 the town skyline was dominated by old church towers but also by new metal communication tower with antennas put on the top. Well, my Polish mobile phone worked quite well on the whole territory of... 

 matcrazy1 Says:  The Dotnuva Roman catholic church was built on a Latin cross plan in Baroque style with some renaissance elements. I've paid attention to a few architectural details (open my next pictures, please).The main entrance is decorated with classical (Renaissance) portico. The... 

 matcrazy1 Says:  The Seduva parish church is fenced by a stone wall with Baroque gate on the southern side. Behind there are a few both old and new graves, mainly of the parish priests. Keep in mind that on this earth the church was heavily persecuted since 1917 till 1990 (except in 1922 -... 

 matcrazy1 Says:  There is a stone monument by the parish church wall. The commemorative plaque put on it is written in Lithuanian language which along with Latvian is one of two living Baltic languages. As it sounds quite different than my native Polish, I basically couldn't understand the... 

 matcrazy1 Says:  There are a few religious, wooden statues put outdoors on a lawn around the Seduva parish Roman catholic church. The statues are high and thin, each with a kind of wooden little roof topped by the one or more holy crosses. The one shows the sitting Jesus Christ, the other... 

 matcrazy1 Says:  I didn't know Seduva, so I drove the main street towards the well seen church towers. I had to turn left to reach the church. The pretty cobbled and empty street along the church is lined with row of old trees which thick trunks are painted in white (open my next pictures).... 

 matcrazy1 Says:  First of all I was shocked to see completely empty streets with no pedestrians, no traffic and no cars parked along. I felt a bit like on the Moon being for sure the only one visitor in empty, silent and lazy town.There are 2-floor residential buildings built of little white... 

 matcrazy1 Says:  The pretty renovated Baroque church dates back to 1642. Two years later Seduva received the Magdeburg charter and town coat of arms. Seduva was a royal estate in the 16th century, probably due to its location on the way from central Lithuania to Latvia in the north, that was... 

 js77 Says:  If you go by car then it's very easy. Just follow the road (A9) from Siauliai to Panevezys and you will see the signs where you have to go off the road. 

 matcrazy1 Says:  I got to Seduva in north-central Lithuania (map here) by my car driving there from Poland. WHERE IS IT ?I drove from Kedainiai highway 144 northwards. Look at my picture now. Just before reaching main eat-west highway A9 (66 km north of Kedainiai; E- 272; Panavezys -... 

 matcrazy1 Says:  Driving highway 144 northwards from Keidaniai before turning right to Seduva I passed by endless fields of corn. In the middle of the corn field there is a wooden advertisememnt of motel and tavern in the windmill. The sitting statue of devil reminds me traditional pagan... 

 matcrazy1 Says:  Driving around Suduva I've seen endless flat fields of corn and meadows used as pastures for cattle and horses. In the town, among local houses I've seen fields divided into little areas owned by particular locals.Well, agriculture in the Soviet Union was organized into a... 

 matcrazy1 Says:  When I drove northwards highway 144 from Kedainiai I saw this old windmill in my picture on the right just before turning right to Seduva. Since 1967 the windmill near Seduva has been converted to a roadside tavern Uzuoveja (Shelter from the Wind). In fact the windmill which...
