The Siraičiai Manor, whose history dates back to the 18th century, belonged to the Opulski family until 1871. Count Motiejus Opulskis bequeathed the manor to his son, Jurgis Opulskis, and later it passed to Jurgis's sister Gertrūda's son, Engelbertas Andrijauskas. Engelbertas’s son, the artist Leopoldas Petras Andrijauskas, inherited the manor and lived there until 1947. His works are preserved in the Telšiai "Alka" Museum.
In 1905, at Engelbertas’s initiative, a cross was erected on the manor grounds to honor brothers Bonaventūras and Vladimiras, who participated in the 1863 Uprising. The base of the cross was made from a mythological Devil’s Stone, believed to have been brought from another location.
The Siraičiai Manor is an important cultural heritage site in Samogitia, reflecting the legacy of the region’s landowners and the creativity of its artists.
