Interesting Lithuania: Merkinė pyramid

Surrounded by the forests of Dzūkija, there is a glass dome, inside which stands a three-sided pyramid, and in it two unique crosses, which concentrate spiritual energy and convey it to the visitors of this space. The Chesukai pyramid is also known as the "Shrine of the Hearts". 

The pyramid was built on the initiative of Povilas and Onutė Žekai. This pyramid is located in the Žekai homestead, at the entrance to the village. The pyramid was built in 2002, when the highest spirit appeared to its author with the task of building a special structure - a pyramid - at the place of the apparition.

According to hundreds of witnesses, positive physical and spiritual changes are felt after spending half an hour in the glass-domed pyramid.

The 12,5m high geodesic dome is built from an aluminum frame and a toughened glass coating. The dome is a protective structure that protects the visitors of the pyramid from the heat of summer and the heat of winter (in summer, inside the dome is slightly cooler than directly in front of the sun, and in winter, the temperature in the dome is slightly higher than outside at that time). The dome is characterized by special acoustics (this has been testified by several Lithuanian and foreign music performers), so soloists and choirs liked this place. Also, on a sunny day, inside the dome, many transparent glass triangles glow in different colors. It is clear that for many visitors it arouses a sense of aesthetic admiration and inspires them to carry out personal spiritual practice. Well, on a dark night, when a few candles are burning in the dome, hundreds of "stars" are reflected in the vault of the dome.
