Kybartai (Kibarty) 1865–1940 – A Frontier Postal Exchange and Transit Node

Two Frame Exhibit

Description:

This exhibit explores the development of Kybartai (Kibarty) as a frontier postal exchange and transit node between Eastern and Western Europe from 1865 to 1940. Following the opening of the border railway station in 1861 at the junction of German standard gauge and Russian broad gauge, Kibarty became a key point for the exchange and control of international correspondence and parcels, reflecting its role within wider cross-border transport networks.
