Raguvėlė Manor, Classicist manor house in Anykščiai District, Lithuania
Raguvėlė Manor is a neoclassical country house with a rectangular two-story form capped by a pitched roof, distinguished by Doric columns and a decorated gable at its entrance. The surrounding complex includes outbuildings, storage structures, a village church, and a family chapel-mausoleum.
The Komarai family founded the estate in the late 1600s and shaped its development over generations. The most significant transformation occurred in the late 1700s when Ignotas Komaras undertook major reconstructions that created the structure we see today.
The Church of St Stephen the Deacon sits within the grounds, reflecting how religious life was central to Lithuanian estate communities. Walking through, you can sense how the chapel and cemetery show the family's spiritual role in the wider region.
The property is currently undergoing restoration work, so visitors should check access conditions before arriving. The grounds are most accessible during warmer months when paths are passable and the surrounding landscape is easier to explore on foot.
The property features a chapel-mausoleum built solely as a burial place for the Komarai family, a structure rarely found on Lithuanian estates of that era. This building reveals how the family chose to preserve their memory within the landscape they controlled.
