Ventė Cape

Ventė Cape, sometimes referred to as Ventė Horn or Ventė Peninsula, is a headland in the Nemunas Delta, in the Šilutė district, Lithuania.

The Cape, being in the former Memel Territory, was part of Germany until 1919. The Teutonic Knights erected a castle here, called Windenburg, but it no longer exists. There is an 11-meter-high lighthouse, built in 1863 during the Prussian period, though it is not currently in use.Читать далее
