Luxury homes are sprouting up in Lithuania’s most beautiful reserves – it’s clear who the secret defender of the rich is

According to the Law on Protected Areas, it is forbidden to build a house in a reserve in Lithuania. However, there is an exception: restoration of old houses is allowed. It is this exception that the “black archaeologists” can greatly benefit from. As you know, these archaeologists do most of their work on the coast and in other beautiful places in Lithuania, such as the shores of lakes.

To understand how things work, you need to draw an elementary diagram. The plots in reserves, if there is no possibility to build on them, are very cheap. Therefore, it is not difficult to persuade their owners to sell. And when that wealth falls into the hands of those who have the money and a bit of audacity, things start to change.

Provided that the laws regulating the restoration of old dwellings do not specify the age limit from which and until when existing dwellings can be restored, theoretically the restoration of dwellings is allowed even in archaeological objects already investigated: ancient settlements, mansions, etc. . In other words, even the houses that were built in the Stone Age can be rebuilt.

“The current laws create preconditions for house counterfeiting, which has been taking place for many years in various places in Lithuania, near Vilnius, on Lake Aukštaitija, by the sea. The old property recognition material is presented to the court by 3 parties, all of which are financially related to people seeking to rebuild property. Historians and archaeologists are paid by home hunters for their research, and their findings are likely to be biased.

The land heirs receive remuneration from the property “restorers” for the land sold and may also be partial witnesses to the location of the old properties. According to the MAK, it is necessary to propose to the aforementioned institutions that they take the initiative to repeal or modify the current provisions of the Protected Areas Law so that the properties in the protected areas are not restored or are only restored no earlier than in the 20th century. Existing properties, confirmed only by cartographic data, precisely located by archaeological research ”, – the conclusions of the Scientific Commission for Archeology are written.
