Ch. Frenkelis Palace
Ch. Frenkelis' Palace was built in 1908. It is the only secessionism style building in Šiauliai and one of a few in Lithuania. The composition of the palace is based on pair structure: symmetrically designed exterior of the building and its interior. The yard of the palace has a park, in the middle of which you can see a fountain.
