Burbiškis Manor, Neoclassical manor in Anykščiai, Lithuania
Burbiškis Manor is a neoclassical residence in Anykščiai with a formal facade and symmetrical design typical of early 19th century European estates. The complex includes a chapel dedicated to St. Theresa and extends across substantial grounds.
The manor was built in 1825 under architect Karol Podczaszyński for Alexander Rimsky-Korsakov, a high-ranking Russian official governing Lithuania. This construction period reflected growing investment in grand rural estates across the region.
The interior rooms reveal artistic tastes of 19th century Lithuanian nobility and European refinement. The spaces reflect how wealth and education shaped daily life in this rural estate.
The estate spreads across multiple buildings with the chapel standing about 100 meters from the main house. Parts of the grounds are currently undergoing restoration work, so visitors should expect varying access conditions.
The grounds once held decorative stone figures of Roman goddesses Diana, Juno, and Venus, which have since been taken away. These sculptures reveal how classical European art traditions shaped the owner's vision for the estate.
