The Japca Monastery (Romanian: Mănăstirea Japca) stands as a religious establishment in the Florești District of Moldova. Positioned along the banks of the Dniester River, the Japca Monastery is located approximately 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) away from Camenca. Notably, it holds the distinction of being the sole monastery in Basarabia that remained open throughout the Soviet era, escaping closure by the Soviet authorities.The foundation date of the Japca monastery remains uncertain. Positioned approximately 45 km south of Soroca, near the Dniester River on a stone cliff, it originally had a cave settlement. The monastery's earliest reference dates to a 1643 Moldavian deed by Vasile Voivod, naming the estate in possession of the monastery as 'Japca' near the village of Sănătăuca. In 1693, an estate donor named Ioan Turbă is mentioned in an 18th-century record. The first founder of the cave monastery is believed to be the monk Jezechil, who arrived from the Deleni hermitage on the Prut River's right side in the late 17th century. Around 1770, Abbot Feodosie constructed a wooden church at the rock's base, expanding the monastery's complex with cells and annexes. By 1812, two wooden churches and a bell tower stood above the entrance tower. In the following years, the Japca hermitage acquired monastery status and had its wooden structures rebuilt in stone in the 19th century. The original cave site was also restored in 1852. Despite facing challenges during the Soviet regime, the Japca monastery continued to thrive and underwent improvements to its buildings, transitioning to stone constructions. The cave church, renovated four years prior, remains operational for religious services. Today, the Japca monastery stands as one of the most prosperous in the Republic of Moldova.

Kudirkos Naumiestis is in the Šakiai district municipality, Lithuania. It is located 25 km (16 mi) south-west of Šakiai. The settlement was first mentioned in 1561 as a village called Duoliebaičiai. In 1639 the town was renamed Vladislavovas (Polish: Władysławów) by Cecilia Renata of Austria after her husband Władysław IV Vasa. He granted the town Magdeburg rights in 1643. In 1934 the town was renamed Kudirkos Naumiestis in honor of the Lithuanian patriot and composer of the Lithuanian national anthem, Vincas Kudirka, who lived there from 1895 to his death in 1899 and is buried there. A well-organized Jewish community also lived in there and produced a number of prominent rabbis and Jewish scholars. Its name in Yiddish was נײַשטאָט־שאַקי (Nayshtot-Shaki). Before World War II the town had about 700-800 Jewish residents. In 1941, an Einsatzgruppen of Germans and Lithuanian collaborators murdered the local Jewish population in mass executions. Hundreds of people were massacred.

The House of Perkūnas is one of the most original and Gothic style secular buildings. Originally built by Hanseatic merchants (Hanseatic League) and served as their office from 1440 until 1532, it was sold in the 16th century to the Jesuits who had established a chapel there in 1643. The ruined house was rebuilt in the 19th century and served as a school and theatre, which was attended by Polish-Lithuanian poet Adam Mickiewicz. At the end of the 19th century it was renamed the "House of Perkūnas", when a figure, interpreted by the romantic historians of that time as an idol of the Baltic pagan god of thunder and the sky Perkūnas was found in one of its walls. Today, the house of Perkūnas once again belongs to the Jesuits and houses a museum of Adam Mickiewicz.
