Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature in Lithuania
A boulder utilized to bear the coat of arms of Perloja (which was missing as recently as 2013 but has been replaced since then), and the still clearly legible date 1792. The coat of arms was the subject of a 80-centai stamp in 1994.
The boulder now stands on the lawn of a disused building, obviously not at its original place, and set upright on a recent concrete base. No information on site.
In 1792, a war between Poland and Russia took place over a vast area which included present day's Eastern Lithuania. One of its consequences was the end of the long standing Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
Also in 1792, the town of Perloja was granted the Magdeburg Rights (Magdeburg Rights).
Easily accessible by the A4, which links the capital Vilnius to the famous spa resort Druskininkai. But you would overlook it if you didn't know about it.
