The original pyramid was built on a private plot of land after the founder experienced personal spiritual phenomena in 1990.
The current structure is a geodesic dome engineered to maximize interior acoustics and light distribution.
The interior contains a specific focal point designed for focused meditation and quiet reflection.
The pyramid structure does not use traditional religious iconography, focusing instead on geometric and energetic themes.
The site remains a popular destination for those interested in alternative tourism and metaphysical geography.
The surrounding grounds are landscaped to provide a transition from the forest environment to the geometric center of the dome.
Merkinės Piramidė is a unique architectural site in Lithuania featuring a glass-domed structure built over a site identified by the founder, Povilas Žėkas, as having high energetic resonance. The complex includes a geodesic glass pyramid, an inner chamber for meditation, and a surrounding park with walking paths. The site is situated within the Dzūkija National Park region. It serves as a space for spiritual reflection, meditation, and acoustic experimentation due to the unique shape of the dome. Visitors can access the interior of the glass structure. The location is maintained by a private foundation and functions as a non-denominational spiritual center.
