Papilė is a town in Šiauliai County, Lithuania, near the Venta River.

History

Settlement is first mentioned in 1339, after it was raided by Livonian Order, since these times there are two hill-forts preserved.

After Christianization of Samogitia settlement belonged to Samogitian bishop, and first church was built here in 1493. Since 1600 it is known as a town. In 1703 the town was granted privillege to hold market-place.

Famous people

The anarchist Emma Goldman lived in the town for a short time as a child, when her father operated an inn here. In Papilė she became close friends with a servant of a family named Petrushka. [Wexler, Alice. "Emma Goldman: An Intimate Life". New York: Pantheon Books, 1984. ISBN 0-394-52975-8.] While in Papilė, she witnessed a "half-naked human body being lashed with a knout"; [Goldman, Emma. "Living My Life". 1931. New York: Dover Publications Inc., 1970. ISBN 0-486-22543-7.] this experience terrified her and contributed to her lifelong distaste for violent authority.

Papilė is also the location where Simonas Daukantas, the writer and historian, is buried.
