Lukiškės Prison

A prison that was once a mini-city

Built in 1904 with its own church, hospital, and bakery, Lukiškės was meant to be a "humane modern prison." Later, those same corridors became infamous during Soviet interrogations — the ideal turned nightmare.

Stranger Things made it famous

Netflix turned Lukiškės into Hopper's Soviet labor camp. After filming, fans kept hunting for leftover props — and yes, a few actually remained.

Vilnius' eeriest maze

After closing in 2019, Lukiškės became an atmospheric shell: empty cells, peeling walls, unexplained nighttime echoes. Today it's half-ghost town, half-art hub.
