Pakapė/Пакапе 1967
Šakyna/Шакина 1971
Here is a couple of covers sent from the villages in Šiaulių rajono savivaldybė/Šiauliai district municipality. The first one is a registered mail sent 1967 from Pakapė and the second one is sent in 1971 from Šakyna with a nice arrival cancellation of Vilnius on the back. Šakyna has one of my favorite church in Lithuania, clearly a gothic architecture in origin, few hundred years older than what Wikipedia claims to be (Here is the link). This type of church is rather unusual in Lithuania, much more popular in Latvia or Estonia, where the Baltic Germans built numerous architectures of this type.
