Rusn\u0117 is the old fishermen\u2019s settlement. It was first mentioned in the end of the 14 cent. The Lithuanians and the Kur\u0161iai inhabited it. Prussian grand duke Albert\u2019s order to hold services in the Lithuanian and Kur\u0161iai languages testify about that. For many centuries, along with Klaip\u0117da\u2019s region, Rusn\u0117 belonged to the German feudalistic that tried to \u201cgermanize\u201d the local people, but failed to eliminate Lithuanian roots. The street of \u017dveju (fishermen) is held a monument of the old Rusn\u0117\u2019s architecture. It is a former village of Skirvyt\u0117l\u0117, now belonging to the city of Rusn\u0117.

The walls of the houses are usually boarded and full of writings. The roofs are covered with reed or with tiles. In 1907, water station was built in Rusn\u0117. This station is considered a symbol of human persistency in the battle with the element the Nemunas\u2019 waters. The first banks in the flooded fields were put up in 1888 after the catastrophe of flood. However, the low delta\u2019s places were not enough to dry up the land. Water stations were still needed. They were designed to pump up the dampness. Now, this station is restored and turned into a museum. The old station\u2019s steam engine in a unique exhibit.<\/p>\n
