The building of the Kaunas Town Hall was begun in XVI century. It is believed that it was one storied at that time, without the tower and with arched cellars. In the second part of the XVI century the Town Hall was expanded by building the second story and an eight-storied tower.

During its long existence, it was an orthodox church, a Russian theatre, the firefighters' house, and even a Czar residence. In the second part of the XX century a project for the restoration of the Town Hall and its adaptation to hold marriage ceremonies was presented.

Now the Town Hall is used not only for marriage ceremonies, but also to receive honorable city guests, to sign treaties, and for official city events. The Kaunas Town Hall is called a White Swan, and it has already been standing in the Old City Square for 460 years and giving joy to the locals and guests with its inimitable beauty.
