The Laučynė Landscape Sanctuary (Lithuanian: Laučynės kraštovaizdžio draustinis) is a protected area of a state importance in Josvainiai Eldership of Kėdainiai District Municipality, in central Lithuania. It was established in 1992 and covers an area of 3.55 square kilometres (1.37 sq mi).[1] It encompasses a part of the Pernarava-Šaravai Forest with the Žvaranta river.
The aim of the sanctuary is to protect a typical landscape of the Nevėžis Plain covered by forest. Mixed forests predominate in the sanctuary, with small-leaved lime and hornbeam tree groups. Rare wild garlic and common ivy grow in the forest. There are crane nesting places.[1]
The Šaravai Oak Tree (a nature monument) grows in the Laučynė Landscape Sanctuary.
