Raduškevičius Palace, Historicist palace in Vilnius, Lithuania
Raduškevičius Palace is a historicist brick building standing on the right bank of the Neris River with distinctive architectural details. An octagonal tower, pointed Gothic-style windows, and a toothed parapet define its corner structure and overall appearance.
Built between 1894 and 1897 as a private home for physician Hilary Raduszkiewicz, the structure underwent significant change in the early 1960s. Demolition of its western sections during that period reshaped the building into its current form.
The palace now serves as the headquarters of the Lithuanian Union of Architects, giving it a role in the city's design and planning conversations. Visitors can sense how the building connects its past as a private home to its present use by professionals shaping the urban landscape.
The palace sits at Kalvarijų Street 1 and is easily viewed from the street as well as from the Neris riverbank. A renovation in 2013 restored the building's structural integrity and made it accessible for visits and events.
The building blends three distinct architectural styles in an unusual way: Neo-Renaissance, Neo-Gothic, and brick design come together without clashing. This stylistic mixing reflects the architectural experiments of the late 1800s.
