European Heritage Days<\/strong> \u2013 these are free events held every September in Lithuania, inviting you to get to know the cultural heritage and discover the history that is right next to us.<\/p>

The theme of the 2026 European Heritage Days is \u201e"Cultural Heritage: Protect, Nurture, Revitalize"\u201c<\/strong>. This year's events invite us to look at heritage more broadly - not only as surviving buildings or historical spaces, but also as traditions, crafts, and knowledge passed down from person to person.<\/p>

String instrument craftsmanship in Vilnius Old Town<\/h2>

September 17th at 5 p.m.<\/strong> we invite you to \u201e"G. R\u016bkas. String instruments and bows"\u201c<\/strong>, located Savi\u010dius St. 10, Vilnius<\/strong>.<\/p>

The event will take place in authentic, beautifully restored premises of Vilnius' Old Town. Here, historical architectural heritage meets the vibrant craftsmanship of traditional crafts.<\/p>

During the event, you will be able to get to know the String instrument makers who worked in Vilnius in the 17th century<\/strong>, their dynasties and craftsmanship traditions. The crafts of stringed instrument production and restoration that are preserved and continued today will also be presented.<\/p>

How is a string instrument born?<\/h3>

During the meeting you will learn:, What wood are stringed instruments made of?<\/strong>, how their production and restoration processes take place, and what knowledge and diligence the work of a master requires.<\/p>
