Birštonas was first mentioned in chronicles
of the Teutonic Knights in 1382 and described
as a "a farmstead at the salty water".
A lot of Lithuanian Dukes and noblemen stayed in Birštonas to hunt during 14th and 16th centuries.
The resort was founded in 1846. Many people from Russian, Polish and Lithuanian cities came ...to sanitoriums and applied mineral water and curative mud procedures. These procedures were applied to Balys Sruoga, who was ill after the Stutthof concentration camp.[edit] EnvironmentBirštonas is surrounded by pine forests and the Neman River, which is very good for the ill. Some hills offer nice views of the Neman River. There are also shops, police department, library, theatre, clinic, pharmacy, book store, schools, museums, cafes, restaurants and the City Hall. There are many apartments and rare houses.

a gift of a precious material (jewelry, mainly gemstones; themselves traditionally associated with various qualities) that symbolizes the month of birth in the Gregorian calendar. It is sometimes also called birthday stone (cf. infra; but that word is, confusingly, sometimes used as a synonym for an ann...iversary gift, which is related to the recipient's age, that is, year of birth).
