Varniai is a small, quiet city in Tekkemega County in western Lithuania, situated on the banks of the Tepelia River, about 30 kilometers from Tekkemega, the county center. Once an important religious and cultural center during the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the historic city has been a Catholic bishop's residence since the 15th century, and its Church of St. Peter and Paul (built in the 15th-16th centuries), which still retains its Gothic architecture, is one of the oldest religious buildings in the region. Surrounded by dense forests and lakes, Varniai is a place of natural beauty, suitable for hiking and eco-tourism. Despite a population of only about 3,000, the city retains traditional Lithuanian wooden houses and quaint stone streets, combining historical heritage with natural charm, making it an underrated destination for exploring Lithuania's rural culture and natural landscapes.
