Mitriūnai Manor, a historic symbol of the Liauda region, now stands in ruins. Built in the early 19th century by Napoleon Juozapas Savickis, the manor was renowned for its concerts, theater evenings, and warm hospitality. Surrounded by a park with linden alleys and ancient poplars, the manor combined elements of Neoclassicism and Gothic style.

Unfortunately, the twists of history were unkind to the estate. It lost much of its splendor during World War I, and in 1941, its last owner was exiled to Siberia. Today, the ruins of Mitriūnai Manor symbolize a lost but not forgotten grandeur of the past.

Despite its current state, Mitriūnai Manor remains a site of historical and cultural significance. Located in the Liauda region, it is closely tied to the shared history of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Kingdom of Poland. During its prime, the manor served as a local hub of culture and community. Historical sources indicate that Mitriūnai Manor belonged to the Koryzna family in the 18th century. In the early 19th century, it was sold to the Savickis family. Napoleon Juozapas Savickis constructed new brick manor houses in 1855 based on his own design. The architecture blended Neoclassical and Gothic styles, though it was heavily influenced by the amateurish approach of the creator. The striking manor featured nine Gothic windows and an arched avant-corps,

surrounded by a lush park with linden alleys, ancient poplars, and acacias. Before World War I, the manor was known for hosting concerts, theater performances, and social gatherings. Guests included not only neighboring estate owners but also visitors from Kaunas, Panevėžys, and Vandžiogala. Sadly, the estate’s prominence faded after the war. Land reforms and Soviet occupation drastically reduced the estate's territory, and its last owner, Vaclovas Savickis, was exiled to Siberia in 1941. Today, Mitriūnai Manor consists only of remnants of its former glory. Though diminished, these ruins still speak of the estate's historical importance. Overwhelmed by time and nature, the manor’s ruins greet visitors as silent witnesses of a bygone era.
