Merkinė Manor, Manor house in Šalčininkai District Municipality, Lithuania.
The red brick buildings of Merkinė Manor stand near the confluence of Nemunas and Merkys rivers, surrounded by pine forests.
The estate became the center of Paulava Republic in 1769 when Paweł Ksawery Brzostowski established a self-governing territory with its own laws.
Italian architect Carlo Spampani incorporated Neoclassical elements into the manor's design in 1770, creating a representation of Lithuanian noble architecture.
The manor site includes memorial stones and information panels that explain the history of the estate and its connection to the Paulava Republic.
The manor remained intact until after World War II when a Soviet sovkhoz director reportedly burned it down to hide evidence of grain theft.
