The Lithuanian company 'Astoga' has successfully acquired a building located on the shores of the Curonian Lagoon through a public auction run by the Property Bank, signing the purchase agreement last September. The final bid at the auction, held at the end of August, saw the company agree to pay 407.1 thousand euros, which matched the starting price for the property.

This single-story log house has an area of approximately 200 square meters and boasts panoramic views of the lagoon, with a forest nearby, making it an attractive acquisition. The property previously housed the Curonian Spit National Park Nature Museum until 2011, after which the museum was deemed no longer necessary for governmental functions, leading to the sale of the building. Furthermore, the auction notice suggested that the building may have historical significance, indicating that the new owners might need to consult with cultural heritage preservation authorities regarding its conservation.

As part of the local government's initiatives, the Klaipeda council is reportedly preparing to lease the property to the new owner, facilitating further development in the region. This acquisition highlights ongoing investments in the real estate market around the Curonian Lagoon, which is known for its natural beauty and tourist attraction, while also raising potential questions about preservation and responsible development of culturally significant sites in Lithuania.
