Vepriai Manor, Neoclassical manor house in Vepriai, Lithuania
Vepriai Manor is a two-story neoclassical house located on the northwestern shore of Lake Vepriai, distinguished by its columned portico at the front entrance. The complex includes several utility buildings from the late 19th century, with a brick distillery built in 1901 being one of the most notable structures on the grounds.
The estate has origins dating to the 16th century, but the property was moved from its original location during the early 19th century and rebuilt in its current neoclassical form. The structures visible today were constructed during this 19th-century reconstruction period.
The estate reflects how Lithuanian properties served different purposes across centuries, first as a noble residence and later as an agricultural training facility. Walking through the grounds, visitors notice how the buildings and landscape tell this story of changing social roles.
The manor sits in a rural location beside the lake, so having a car is practical for visiting. The buildings are generally accessible to view from outside, though they are not fully restored museums with detailed visitor facilities or guided information inside.
The park surrounding the manor includes both native and imported tree species planted during early 20th-century improvements to the grounds. The wooded area was later recognized as a natural monument at the local level, reflecting how landscape care became part of preserving this historical site.
