Žeimiai Manor, Manor house in Žeimiai, Lithuania.
Žeimiai Manor is a two-story manor house displaying classical architecture with symmetrical proportions and prominent pillars on its main facade. The main building contains about twenty-five rooms with tiled stoves, while the broader property includes separate structures such as a granary, chapel, ice house, and stables arranged around a park.
The site was first mentioned in records at the end of the 15th century and changed hands several times before the Kosakovski family acquired it around 1780 and held it until World War II. During their ownership, the estate took on the classical architectural character visible in the building today.
The manor complex with its surrounding park and lime tree alley shows visitors how a wealthy family lived alongside servants and agricultural workers in a unified estate. The separate buildings for the chapel, stables, and storage buildings reveal the daily rhythm of a historical household.
The property is currently undergoing restoration and will gradually open to visitors with a focus on cultural events and educational programs. Since the site remains under reconstruction, it is best to check ahead about current access and which areas are available to explore.
The estate now serves as a base for the Aikas Žado project, which organizes art projects and cultural events that bring new energy to the space. This approach demonstrates how a historic building can function as a living creative center rather than a static museum.
