Aukštoji Freda Manor, Manor house in Freda district, Kaunas, Lithuania.
Aukštoji Freda Manor is a classicist manor house featuring a symmetrical facade with a grand columned portico at its front. The structure is complemented by a south-facing balcony overlooking extensive grounds with landscaped parks and ornamental water features.
The estate was founded in 1500 when Heinrich Slacker received the land from Grand Duke Alexander Jagiellon while serving as Treasury secretary of Lithuania. The manor underwent significant transformation in the 19th century under new ownership, becoming a symbol of aristocratic residence.
The manor reflects how Lithuanian nobility lived, with separate quarters for servants, stables, and farm buildings arranged according to traditional estate patterns. This layout reveals the daily organization of a noble household and its surrounding working areas.
The manor is accessed through several steps at the entrance that lead up to the building. Visitors should be aware that the structure lacks wheelchair accessibility features, so mobility considerations are important before planning a visit.
The two ornamental ponds in front of the manor were shaped to form specific initials of a 19th-century resident. This creative water feature reveals a personal touch that goes beyond simple landscaping.
