thats exciting petter
you seem to be indicating it might be possible to recite the long
chronological list of the turns of fortune of this particular tripoint
upon the world class tripoint stage over several or even many
centuries
it might even be a leading candidate for longest &or most
checkered working career
but for starters
do you know if it is still a working tripoint marker on any level
& of course anything further to structure or join the chase

18th century, when Poland began to disintegrate and Lithuania
has been torn apart, this tripoint lost its original meaning and it
continued so until the present day. Now, it 's a part of a single
unit territory.
