The exceptionally beautiful Empire-style villa, built in 1880, has survived to this day. The \u0160v\u0117k\u0161na manor villa was built by Adomas Plater and named \u201cGenovefa\u201d in honor of his wife.
The counts lived in a large wooden building next to the villa, which was demolished around 1952. Villa \u201cGenovefa\u201d served as a summer residence for guests and celebrations.
In 1918, Jurgis Plater returned from Russia and lived here until the beginning of Sovietization. His fate was tragic \u2013 he was deported. In 1940, the manor also suffered heavy damage.
In 2001, thanks to the efforts of an heir, the manor buildings and park were restored: the palace was renovated, and a museum was established. The \u0160v\u0117k\u0161na manor park, now covering 9.5 hectares, is one of the most beautiful in Lithuania.
Elements of small park architecture have survived: the main gate with fence segments, garden gate with remnants of a stone wall, a statue of the Roman goddess of the hunt Diana on the pond island. Newly restored: a sundial, a vase on a pedestal, a round observation terrace with balustrade, stairs with vases, a statue of the Virgin Mary, the \u201cAngel of Freedom,\u201d and small bridges.
Today\u2019s offerings include: carriage rides, photo sessions, and wedding ceremonies.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
