Gilužiai Linear Village

Gilužiai Linear Village

The village is located on the Molėtai-Balninkai road, on a hill, on the north-eastern shore of Gilužis Lake. The plan is typical of villages divided into farmsteads. The street is built along the shore of a lake. The rhythmic repetition of building volumes, fences, and trees form a rather monotonous street space. It is varied by the different orientations of the baths and the different interior spaces of the farmhouses. The first mention of Gilužiai village, which belonged to the Girsteitiškis grange of Alanta manor, was in 1598.
