Maišiagala's Houvalds Manor, located in the Vilnius district, is now a hub for culture and traditional crafts. The manor, with deep historical roots, served as a refuge for locals during World War II and later as a kolkhoz center. During the period of Lithuania's independence restoration, the manor was transformed into an educational and cultural institution, becoming the Grand Duke Algirdas Secondary School, and later a cradle of culture.
Today, the Center for Traditional Crafts at Houvalds Manor is an integral part of the cultural heritage of the Vilnius
region, dedicated to preserving and promoting ancient crafts, customs, and traditions. The center offers educational workshops, hosts meetings with artisans, organizes exhibitions, and holds craft fairs, providing all visitors with a deeper understanding of Lithuanian cultural heritage.
The Maišiagala Cultural Center, library, and community house located at Houvalds Manor have become central to events, meetings, and celebrations. The modernly equipped conference hall and various spaces offer excellent conditions for both cultural and business events.
