Rokiškis Manor is a former country residence in northeastern Lithuania, now home to the Rokiškis Regional Museum. With its white front and red roof set among a wide lawn, a pond and rows of trees, it ranks among the finest and most complete manors in this part of the country. The estate was first mentioned in 1499 in a privilege of Grand Duke Alexander, passed to Grand Duchess Helena in 1503, and from the mid-16th century was ruled by three noble families: the Kroszyńskis, Tyzenhauzes and Przeździeckis. Nothing remains of the old wooden house, and in its place stands a neo-Gothic brewery colloquially known as the Krošinskiai Castle. The manor house was remodelled several times, and in 1905 Jonas Pšezdzieckis renovated it into two storeys with a blend of Baroque Revival, neo-Renaissance and Art Nouveau features. Inside are elegant rooms including a dining room with carved wooden furniture and a decorated ceiling, plus displays on the region's history and the estate's owners. Around the house are stone and brick outbuildings, a shaded walkway between two ponds and a broad lawn offering the best picture of the whole ensemble. The manor lies about 52 km from Utena and 143.6 km from Vilnius in a straight line. Walking the grounds is easy and suits families. Check museum hours, since it may close on some days, and allow time for the lawn and ponds.
