Skaistakalnis Park is a unique place in Panevėžys, located in the city center, but still maintaining its authenticity. In this park, the poet, activist and lawyer Čerkesas had its Pragiedruliai mansion. It was a place for people to gather and exchange ideas. The mansion did not work for a long time, therefore without this mansion the park lost its cultural asset. Currently, the mansion is being renovated and adapted to the public use.
