Herojus School / Architectural Bureau G.Natkevicius & Partners
The building, located in the picturesque central part of Kaunas, is an important industrial site – it housed one of the largest and most significant printing presses in Lithuania, "Spindulys," which operated from 1928 to 2009. Although the printing house, built according to a typical interwar industrial building design, was not considered an architecturally valuable structure, it was much more than just an industrial object. It is a culturally, economically, and historically significant part of Kaunas city – this is where particularly important publications of the time were printed, and even the Lithuanian Republic's coins were minted here (including the 1925, 1936, and 1938 series).
