Currently, the territory of Užpaliai Manor covers approximately 33,000 square meters
and consists of three buildings and a pond connected to the Šventoji River. The manor buildings served various purposes, from administrative functions to residential use. The buildings located across Vytauto Street were once used as utility and servant quarters, and now one of the spaces is called "Kamenyčia," where cultural events take place. The water mill, another part of the manor complex, played an important economic role until 1969, grinding flour, processing timber, and supplying energy to the town. Today, the Užpaliai Manor Estate is included in the Register of Cultural Heritage.
