Prienai mõis, Manor estate in Prienai, Lithuania
Prienai mõis is a manor estate complex in Lithuania that stretches along the Nemunas River and consists of various structures dating to the 19th century. The grounds are framed by traditional gardens and landscape features.
The first documented mention dates to 1502, and the place received Magdeburg rights in 1609, marking its rise as an important settlement. Following the destruction of a fortified structure in 1701, the complex underwent major changes.
The complex displays features of Lithuanian noble architecture with regional building techniques visible in the remaining structures. These elements shape how the place looks and feels today.
