NKVD - MVDV-MGB Kretinga County Building
Memorial site

During the second Soviet occupation, Soviet occupation structures were established in many Lithuanian towns. During the Nazi occupation, the former residence of the interwar Lithuanian doctor and prominent public figure Feliksas Janušis housed the headquarters of the Nazi German Gestapo, and during the second Soviet occupation, the Kretinga department of the NKVD-MVD-MGB was located in this building. Lithuanian citizens and participants in the anti-Soviet resistance were interrogated and tortured there.

In the 1910s, thanks to the care of the Kretinga district municipality administration and the owner of the house, the pastor of the Kretinga Evangelical Lutheran parish, Darius Petkūnas, a memorial plaque was unveiled on the wall of the building in memory of the people interrogated and tortured in this building in 1944–1953.
