Dautarai Manor, Manor estate in Dautarai village, Mažeikiai District, Lithuania.
Dautarai Manor is an estate building with German architectural style located in a village near the Lithuania-Latvia border in the northern part of the country. The main structure has been expanded and renovated to serve as a modern event venue while maintaining its original character.
German nobles from the von Bock family acquired the estate in 1870 and developed it into a complete property with multiple structures by 1896. Later, the site came under Russian influence during the early 1900s, shaping its trajectory through the 20th century.
The manor hosts an annual music festival featuring jazz and classical performances that draws musicians and audiences from nearby regions. This event has become an important gathering place for people interested in music and the arts.
The building is functional as an event hall with modern amenities following extensive renovations completed in 2013. It is easily accessible and well-suited for visitors interested in attending cultural events and celebrations throughout the year.
Boris von Bock, a former officer of the Imperial Russian Navy and husband of Russian Prime Minister Stolypin's daughter, owned the estate around 1910. This connection reveals how German, Russian, and Lithuanian elites were intertwined in this border region before the revolution.
