Aukštadvaris Manor, Neoclassical manor house in Aukštadvaris, Lithuania.
Aukštadvaris Manor is a neoclassical manor house with balanced symmetrical facades and refined architectural details. The complex sits within landscaped grounds featuring a park, water features, and mature trees.
Antoni Malewski built the manor in 1837 as a family residence. The property remained under his family's ownership until World War I, after which it changed purposes several times.
The manor served as a gathering place for artists and intellectuals who met in its refined surroundings. The rooms and gardens reflect how the upper class lived during the 1800s.
The grounds are easy to access and can be explored on foot at a comfortable pace. Wearing sturdy shoes is advisable since the park and pathways are best experienced by walking.
A centuries-old oak tree at the heart of the park has a trunk much thicker than most trees you will see. Its impressive girth shows how many generations have spent time under its branches.
