Paežeriai Manor, Manor house in Paežeriai, Vilkaviškis district, Lithuania.
Paežeriai Manor is a classically designed manor house in the Vilkaviškis district that consists of several connected structures on the property. The complex includes a main residence, administration building, a Gothic Revival tower, stables, distillery, warehouse, ice house, and farm buildings arranged across the grounds.
The manor was built between 1795 and 1799 under Szymon Zabiełło's ownership and designed by architect Marcin Knackfus in the Louis XVI style. The estate was created during a period when such manor complexes served as key economic and social centers of rural areas.
The manor now hosts a regional cultural center with exhibitions about local nature and the history of the Suvalkija region. Visitors can see works by Lithuanian artists and learn about the cultural traditions of the area.
The site offers guided tours and educational programs focused on local history and regional traditions to help visitors understand the area better. It is best to check in advance what programs are available to make the most of a visit.
The Belvederis Tower on the grounds rises about 17 meters and combines Gothic Revival elements in an unusual way with the manor's otherwise classical architecture. This stylistic contrast makes the tower a distinctive feature that shapes the overall impression of the complex.
