Verkiai Palace, Neoclassical palace in Verkiai district, Lithuania.

The palace complex includes two lateral buildings, called oficinas, with the eastern one displaying restored interiors from the Wittgenstein period.

The site transformed from a wooden manor in the 13th century to a grand palace under Bishop Ignacy Massalski's supervision in 1780.

The palace grounds contain centuries-old oak trees with trunks measuring 1.5 meters in diameter, connecting the site to Lithuanian natural heritage.

The palace buildings now house the Lithuanian Institute of Botany and Nature Research Center, welcoming visitors within Verkiai Regional Park.

The first photographs in Lithuania were taken at this palace in 1839 by Karol Podczaszyński using daguerreotype technology for restoration purposes.
