Last month, the demolition of Perkūno al caused considerable public and institutional outrage. 11 house. Heavy machinery is now reportedly leaving the area, making it easier for residents to rest, as demolition work is unlikely to resume.

The architect Audrys Karalius shared a video with the portal kauno.diena.lt, showing how the equipment that destroyed the interwar village is being withdrawn. The architect assured that this was the happiest day. Eliminating this technique greatly reduces the likelihood that art deco The style villa will continue to be demolished.

The kauno.diena.lt portal recalls that the demolition of this building in Žaliakalnis began in mid-October. Neither the owner nor the company that carried out the work had a demolition permit. Heritage guards were called to the scene and work stopped, but not for long. The following day, heavy machinery was turned on again, removing part of the roof, and work had to be stopped again. Then one day there was silence and work was resumed for the third time in a weekend when some institutions were closed. The environmentalists then stopped work as the slate roof broke and dangerous asbestos dust spread throughout the neighborhood. After such a bold third demolition, public confidence in the owner disappeared completely, so as long as there was heavy machinery in the area, there was a risk that all closures would be cut again and construction would resume.

The heritage guardians explained that the building is not registered in the Register of Cultural Heritage, but was still protected, had valuable assets, and is located in the cultural heritage protection zone, where special requirements apply. The building’s owner, Artūras Dankovskis, has always taught that the house is not valuable and that demolition works apparently do not require a permit.

The resolution of the conflict is now entrusted to the forces of order. By the way, the public also collected signatures to know both the institutions that failed to prevent the demolition and the owner who ordered the company to demolish the building between the wars.
