The most significant architectural site in Tauragė is the Tauragė castle ensemble built for customs needs in the 19th century. The estate's houses on the bank of the Jūra River are surrounded by a large scenic park. The entire ensemble of the castle features a “romantic” character of a Renaissance castle conveyed to it by its builders. Presently, the castle houses Tauragė History Museum that boasts rich collections of exhibits.
