Between 1925 and 1941, the Gulbinėnai Manor Estate became the home of General Kazys Ladiga, who undertook the ambitious goal of transforming the manor into not only a modern farm but also a cultural oasis for the surrounding area. Under his initiative, a post office, store, primary school branches, and improved infrastructure were established on the manor grounds. General Ladiga also helped establish a chapel on the estate and contributed to the construction of the church and the formation of the parish, earning the respect and gratitude of the local community. After World War II, from 1945 to 1992, the manor buildings housed a seven-year school. Today, the manor is privately owned.

After World War II, from 1945 to 1992, the manor buildings housed a seven-year school.
Today, the manor is privately owned. The estate is divided into three zones – representative, economic, and recreational. The composition of the representative zone resembles the layout of 18th-century Baroque manors, and all the buildings, constructed of red brick and stone masonry, remain to this day. In total, ten buildings or fragments have survived, including the manor house, granary, tool shed, barns, and other farm buildings. The vast park behind the manor features a unique system of ponds and canals, with the ponds planted with acacias and the dance area lined with lindens, adding an idyllic atmosphere to the entire surroundings.
