Švėkšna Manor, Neoclassical manor house in Švėkšna, Lithuania.

The central manor house exhibits symmetrical architecture with geometric shapes and features white columns along its main entrance facade.

The estate originated in the 15th century under Mykolas Kęsgaila, Elder of Samogitia, before passing through several noble families including the Broël-Platers.

The manor served as a center for regional nobility gatherings and educational initiatives, with Stefan Broël-Plater supporting local schools and archaeological research.

The estate opens for guided tours on weekends and contains exhibition spaces showcasing the history of Lithuanian noble families through artifacts and documents.

The Villa Genowefa section of the manor, named after Adam Broël-Plater's wife, functioned as a cinema during the post-war Soviet period.
