Lonely Planet review for Kretinga Museum
This winter garden has seen better days but the green-fingered might still enjoy the tropical mirage of 850 species of exotic plants blooming forth in a tatty classical glasshouse at the Kretinga Museum, 10km east in Kretinga. The hot house opened in 1875 in one of the many homes of the Tyszkiewicz family of Polish nobles, but a fire devastated it in 1915 and in 1940 the Soviet Army destroyed it.
