Named after the late Curonian academic Ludwig Rheese (or Rhesa, 1776-1840) and also the location of the village’s tourist information centre, this red brick former school building features a small concert and exhibition hall at ground level and a permanent exhibition space upstairs made up mostly of items relating to the building’s namesake including a collection of books printed in both the extinct Curonian language and proto-Lithuanian. Upstairs also features several old photographs of the village from the private collection of Elizabeth Kluwe.
