In a notable redevelopment, the building where Adolf Hitler was born in 1889 has undergone renovation to transform into a police station. This decision comes after many years of disputes over the future use of the property. Local residents, particularly in the border town by the Ino River, have expressed a range of feelings regarding the change in the building's purpose, highlighting ongoing sensitivity around its historical past.

The building, located in the center of the town on a narrow shopping street, currently features a memorial stone dedicated to the victims of fascism during World War II. This stone, installed in 1989 to commemorate the upcoming 100th birthday of Hitler, carries the inscription: 'For peace, freedom, and democracy. So that fascism never occurs again. In memory of millions who died.' This poignant reminder underscores the community's complex relationship with the site and its history.

The Lithuanian government previously enacted legislation aimed at repossessing the building from its private owner, with the goal of neutralizing the area. Before the renovation for the police station, the Ministry of the Interior had leased it for other uses, including as a facility for people with disabilities. The shift in purpose continues to evoke debate about how historical sites associated with controversial figures should be handled, reflecting broader societal challenges in dealing with the legacies of the past.
