Pałac Paców w Wilnie, Classical palace in Old Town, Vilnius, Lithuania
Pałac Paców is a three-story classical palace with symmetrically arranged windows across a light stone facade in Vilnius's Old Town. The building displays features from multiple historical periods layered into its walls and architectural details.
Pałac Paców began as a structure in the 16th and 17th centuries on an earlier townhouse site and underwent major renovation in 1783 under Chancellor Alexander Michal Sapieha. The work from that era shaped the building's classical appearance that survives today.
The palace served various functions throughout centuries, from a noble residence to the Russian governor's seat, and now houses the Polish Embassy in Lithuania.
The palace is located at 3 Sventaragio Street in the Old Town and is home to the Polish Embassy. Visiting requires advance arrangement directly with the embassy offices.
During 1978 renovation work, builders uncovered original architectural elements from different eras hidden within the walls. These findings revealed how the structure evolved and changed hands across many centuries.
