Ežerėnai

Ežerėnai lies amid the lakes of northeastern Lithuania, beside Lake Zarasas on an old route between Riga and Pskov. The settlement formed part of the estates of the bishops of Vilnius, and was recorded as a small town in 1522. War and plague reduced it severely in the early eighteenth century, but a school and customs office appeared as it recovered later in the century. In 1837 a new plan gave the town a distinctive horseshoe-shaped square with streets radiating from it.
