Kavoliškis Manor and Park is a historic site in the Rokiškis region, reflecting the prosperity of the Komarovsky family from the 18th to the 20th centuries. Built around 1700, the manor was later adapted to the classical style, featuring a central portico with columns and white lacquered shutters adorning the windows and doors. The manor was surrounded by a park and an orchard, whose produce won "Pomona" awards for excellence. The estate also hosted the renowned "Delicje" confectionery factory, exporting its goods to both Eastern and Western Russia. Today, remnants of the linden avenue, some outbuildings, and a wayside shrine marking the eternal resting place of Count Zigmant Leopold Komarovsky remain.

Kavoliškis Manor and Park is an impressive representation of 18th–20th century Lithuanian manor culture. The estate belonged to the Komarovsky family, who settled there around 1700. The original wooden manor was built with sturdy pine logs on high stone foundations. In the late 18th century, influenced by classical style, the manor was modernized with a central portico supported by four masonry columns, and its windows and doors were adorned with white lacquered shutters. The estate was surrounded by a one-hectare park with linden alleys and an orchard, which earned "Pomona" medals in interwar Lithuania for

outstanding quality. The Komarovsky family also established the "Delicje" confectionery and biscuit factory, with products exported as far as Eastern and Western Russia. While the manor house no longer stands, the linden alleys and several farm buildings remain intact. On Kavoliškis Hill, a wayside shrine marks the burial site of Count Zigmant Leopold Komarovsky (1865–1920), the great-grandfather of Polish President Bronisław Komorowski. This site is a significant part of Rokiškis history, making it a must-visit for history enthusiasts and those interested in Lithuania’s manor culture and heritage.
