RIMAŠIAI VILLAGE

The farmsteads of Rimašiai village are located on the left bank of the Gauja River, following its bend. Rimašiai is mentioned in 1744.Then and later, until the abolition of serfdom, the village belonged to the Daubutiškis manor.

The village land was divided into three fields, which were divided into pieces, and the pieces were divided into frames. Each section had its own name – Dvarnos, Siaurutes, Plačiosios, Kamša, Margiai, etc.

This helped to orientate the fields, which were divided into many frames (15 or more frames per farmer). The southern side of the road to Dieveniškės was reserved for homesteads, as the northern side was a viscous swamp. The natural conditions resulted in a typical one-sided street-style settlement, with a cobbled street.
