Antazavė Manor, Classical manor in Zarasai Region, Lithuania.
Antazavė Manor is a classical two-story building in Zarasai Region featuring red brick walls and symmetrical front sections. The structure has cylindrical vaults in the basement and represents the architectural style typical of manor houses from that era.
The Pliateriai family commissioned architect Antanas Naglovskis in 1790 to design and build the manor along with outbuildings and a church. During World War I, German forces occupied the property as a military headquarters and took supplies from the surrounding estate.
The manor now serves as an exhibition space showing works by Lithuanian artists and hosting international art exhibitions. Visitors can experience different artistic perspectives and creations that reflect the cultural life of the region.
The building underwent comprehensive restoration work in 2012 that focused on repairing the roof structure and renovating the exterior facades. Access and visiting hours may vary depending on current exhibitions, so checking ahead is advisable.
The property was originally part of a larger complex that included outbuildings and a church, with traces of these structures still visible on the grounds today. These remnants tell the story of the estate's former scale and importance in the landscape.
