Apytalaukis Manor, Neoclassical manor house in Kėdainiai District, Lithuania
Apytalaukis Manor is a neoclassical country house north of Kėdainiai in Lithuania. The building displays symmetrical design with three-story side sections and features a decorative pool positioned in front of the main facade.
The estate first appears in historical records in 1371 through the Chronicle of Livonia, with the initial brick palace built by the Šiukšta family in the 18th century. It subsequently passed to other noble families who each left their mark through renovations and changes to the property.
The manor takes its name from its position between two river courses, reflecting the connection to the surrounding landscape. The spaces still bear traces of the different families who lived and worked here over the centuries.
The property sits roughly 5 kilometers north of Kėdainiai, positioned near where two rivers meet. The site is currently in poor condition and requires substantial restoration work, so visitors should be careful when exploring the grounds.
The manor once held an extraordinary furniture collection made entirely from animal horns that won a gold medal at the 1900 Paris World Exhibition. This rare craftsmanship made the collection internationally known and attracted the attention of collectors and artisans.
