Biržuvėnai Manor is a unique 18th–19th-century wooden manor estate that has preserved all the characteristic elements typical of Lithuanian feudal estates. The manor complex consists of representative, agricultural, production, and residential areas, reflecting Baroque and Classicist architectural styles. It is a significant tourist attraction, especially for those interested in the history of Lithuanian manors, their architecture, and the way of life of their inhabitants. The manor underwent several reconstructions, with the largest one occurring in the mid-19th century. Unfortunately, during the Soviet era, the estate suffered significant damage, and in 2004, the manor house burned down. Following the fire, the manor house was rebuilt in 2011, with efforts made

to preserve its authenticity. Today, visitors can admire original fireplaces with 18th-century tiles, antique furniture, and other historically significant elements. The estate also features a restored office building, stables, and carriage house. In addition to being restored and adapted for tourism, Biržuvėnai Manor is becoming a new cultural hub. Since 2024, the Žemaitija Tourism Information Center has managed the estate, transforming it into a space for art and education. Visitors can learn about the Gorski family, the manor's former owners, and explore 19th-century culture through tours, exhibitions, concerts, and various educational activities. Biržuvėnai Manor welcomes both pilgrims traveling the Camino Lituano route and artists seeking a creative space.
