The Vilnius Sports Palace (lit.Vilniaus sporto rūmai ) is a sports palace and multi-purpose hall in Vilnius , Lithuania . It was designed from 1961 by the architects Eduardas Chlomauskas , Zigmas Liandzbergis and Jonas Kriukelis and completed in 1971. At the end of the 1990s, the building was sold to the private owner. The planned demolition was prevented by a designation as a national cultural heritage in 2006, but the building is still unused and is in ruins.
history
The sports palace was built on the site of the former Jewish cemetery . In 1961 an architectural competition was held for the expansion of a sports center, the center of which was the Žalgiris Stadium , built in 1950 . Three teams of architects from the State Institute for Urban Planning and Development took part in the competition. The second-placed design was realized by the architects Eduardas Chlomauskas and Zigmas Liandzbergis, who were later joined by the architect Jonas Kriukelis. The building is based on the Minsk Sports Palace designed from 1962 and completed in 1966 by the architects Sergei Fillonow and Valentin Malyshev , whose plans were presented to the architects. The roof construction of the Sports Palace in Vilnius was particularly daring and was patented by its engineer Henrikas Kavelis . In the entrance hall is an abstract wooden sculpture by Regimantas Kavaliauskas from 1973.
