The history of Arvydai Manor began in the 16th century when Ulrich Hosius, the Castellan of Vilnius and overseer of King Sigismund the Old's royal constructions, became the first known owner of the manor. He received the manor as a gift from the duke for overseeing important constructions, such as the first water supply system in Vilnius and the royal mills. The manor later passed to the Jesuit Academy, and after the order's dissolution, it went to Mikalojus Lopačinskis, who managed the manor until the late 19th century.

The history of Arvydai Manor began in the 16th century when Ulrich Hosius, the Castellan of Vilnius and overseer of King Sigismund the Old's royal constructions, became the first known owner of the manor.

The manor later passed to the Jesuit Academy, and after the order's dissolution, it went to Mikalojus Lopačinskis, who managed the manor until the late 19th century.
In the early 20th century, the manor was acquired by Samuel Goldstein, who developed a leather
processing business on the estate. The proximity of the Warsaw-St. Petersburg railway and a nearby train station facilitated the easy transport of products manufactured at the manor. However, after Goldstein's death, the manor lost its attentive caretaker and changed hands several times.
During the Soviet era, Arvydai Manor was converted into a dormitory for collective farms and later fell into neglect. Only in the 21st century, after finding new owners, did the manor come back to life. It is now a popular venue for events and meetings near Vilnius, offering a unique historical context and charming surroundings.
