About the activity

The Blacksmithing Museum opened in 1992 on the site of the forge of locksmith Fr. Grimm. Most of the ground floor is devoted to material about the forge of the famous Klaipėda master G. Kacke. On display are the forge’s authentic sign, a whole showcase of wooden moulds for casting letters and numbers made by G. Kacke himself, and the blacksmith’s stamp. The interior of G. Kacke’s forge has been recreated here.

The exhibition also includes gas lamps, farming tools, work tools and forge door hinges made in G. Kacke’s and other Klaipėda forges.
