The Kėdainiai Minaret, located in Kėdainiai, Lithuania, is a unique architectural structure that stands out due to its unusual presence in a predominantly Christian region. Erected in 1880 by local landowner and nobleman Janusz Radziwiłł, the minaret was built as a memorial to his deceased Turkish friend. The structure, which does not serve any religious function, is a testament to the cross-cultural interactions and personal relationships of the time.
