Tauragė's 500th Anniversary Stone

Modern Stone in Lithuania

Stone erected in a public park on the left bank of the Jūra river, presented by the Rotary Club to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the city of Tauragė.

While in Tauragė, go and visit the historical site at (55.22764, 22.22318), accessible by a newly built and asphalted road branching off the A12 / E77 at (55.23571, 22.22812), about 3 km SW of Tauragė, where the : Convention_of_Tauroggen was signed.

On the 30th of December 1812, the Prussian General J.H. von Yorck signed the Convention of Tauroggen, declaring his troops neutral to the Russian General H.K. von Diebitsch, thus effectively ending the Napoleonian-Prussian alliance built just before the famously failed Napoleonic invasion of Russia.
