Vileišis Palace, Neo-baroque residence in Antakalnis district, Vilnius, Lithuania

The two-story palace features curved cornices, organic floral decorations, and central domes topped with lanterns that form a distinctive architectural profile.

Built between 1904 and 1906 for engineer Petras Vileišis, the palace housed the first legal Lithuanian newspaper printing press in its guesthouse basement.

The palace's interior contains thirteen fireplaces of different styles, with the meeting hall displaying an elaborate Neo-Renaissance fireplace with ornate decorations.

Located at Antakalnio Street 6, the palace now serves as the Institute of Lithuanian Literature and Folklore, maintaining regular opening hours for visitors.

During renovations from 2004 to 2007, workers discovered multiple historical documents concealed within the palace walls, adding to its research value.
