About Lithuania Minor
Lithuania Minor is culturally and scenically very distinct from the rest of Lithuania. Until the 20th Century, the region was controlled by Prussia, leaving a German influence on the language (the word "biški", meaning "little" and only used in the region, comes from the German "bisschen") and architecture (red brick and tile roofs is common on older buildings). The region contains the Curonian Spit, which makes up about half of Lithuania's coastline, and the Curonian Lagoon.
