Located on the banks of the Šventoji River, between Armona and Stora, Leonpolis Manor captivates with its classicist-style palace and rich history. Founded in the mid-16th century, the manor was originally owned by the Radziwiłł family, and in the early 20th century, it passed into the hands of Mykolas Devenis, becoming a model of modern agriculture. The estate hosted a distillery, a steam-powered dairy, and began cultivating sugar beets.

In 2015, the manor was acquired by UAB "Ekomarket" with the aim of preserving its cultural heritage. Visitors are invited to stroll through the linden tree park, enjoy the views of the Šventoji River, and visit the shop that sells local vegetables.

Leonpolis Manor, located between Armona and Stora on the banks of the Šventoji River, traces its history back to the mid-16th century. The construction of the palace, attributed to the Radziwiłł family, attests to the grandeur of the estate. However, after the 1922 land reform, the Radziwiłłs sold the manor to Mykolas Devenis. Under his management, Leonpolis Manor became a model of progressive agriculture – with a modern distillery, a cooperative steam dairy, and the cultivation of sugar beets, which began here in Lithuania. The estate also boasted an impressive library, a gallery of paintings, and a collection of ethnographic artifacts. The manor's
palace, whose structure was formed in the mid-19th century in the classicist style, was rebuilt in 1849. Gothic details were added, basement rooms with windows were created, chimneys were built, and a columned portico was constructed. This design remains intact to this day. In 2015, the manor was acquired by UAB "Ekomarket" to preserve its historical heritage and revive farming traditions. They have been systematically reconstructing the buildings of the manor complex, maintaining the surroundings, and inviting visitors to walk through the linden park, enjoy the views of the Šventoji River, and visit the shop selling local farmers' products.
