TOWN

TELŠIAI

Telšiai is one of the oldest cities in Lithuania, probably dating earlier than the 14th century. The name Telšiai is derived from a verb telkšoti (literally, to be flooded with water, to splash, etc.). The name of Telšiai has been recorded in different forms and different languages throughout its history. Lake Mastis is mentioned in various legends and myths. It is located in the city centre. The city was named after a small rivulet, the Telšė, which flows into Lake Mastis. A legend has it that a knight named Džiugas founded the city. There are a cathedral, a church, a library, a theatre, a museum and a folk museum. The symbol of Telšiai is a bear. We have got small sculptures with bears.
