Plinkšės Manor, Classical palace in Mažeikiai District Municipality, Lithuania.
Plinkšės Manor is a two-story classical palace with symmetrical proportions located in Mažeikiai District. The estate comprises the main residence, two auxiliary servant buildings, and a neo-gothic breeding facility for horses.
A Lithuanian nobleman acquired the estate in 1873 and commissioned a German architect to design the palace, completed in 1879. The manor's development reflected broader changes in the region during the late 19th century.
The manor served as a center for artistic training, drawing young musicians to its halls during the late 1800s. The main building and its grounds reflected the cultural aspirations of the region's elite during that era.
The estate is open to visitors during daylight hours, allowing for self-guided exploration of the buildings and grounds. For structured visits and tour information, contact the local tourism office in the Mažeikiai region.
The neo-gothic stud facility on the grounds originally focused on breeding a local horse breed before later becoming an educational institution. This transformation shows how the estate's purpose shifted with changing regional needs.
