Berlowitz Inn

The Jew Pincas Isakowitz from nearby Jurbarkas (Lithuania) received the right for himself and his&nbsp. heirs to build a jug , storehouse, and other necessary brewery in 1708 on the basis of a patent from the Count of Dohna;heirs to build a jug , storehouse, a brewery and other necessary buildings and also to plant a garden . It was for a long time the only such patent of the Prussian king for a Jew on this border and shows what importance the trade route on the Memel possessed. For two hundred and thirty years descendants of this founder operated the inn under the name of Berlowitz and established a Jewish community in which they were very active. Numerous descendants of the great family went to other towns and made careers there.
