Žibuliai Manor, also known as Ilgižiai Manor, is located in Raseiniai District, near Betygala, along the Ariogala–Paliepiai–Ilgižiai road. It was first mentioned in written sources in 1593, when it was donated to the Pašušvė Evangelical Lutheran Church. After the decline of the Reformation, the manor became a private estate again. In the early 19th century, it owned large plots of land, several farms, and the village of Ilgižiai. However, after the 1831 uprising, some land was confiscated, as the manor’s owner, Mykolas Vitkauskas, had participated in the rebellion. The manor’s prosperity is associated with the second half of the 19th century, when it was owned by Vladislovas Chlevinskis (1826–1907). In 1870, Neo-Romantic two-story manor houses were built. In 1931, during land redistribution,

the manor was renamed Žibuliai to distinguish it from the village of Ilgižiai. After the redistribution, the manor was purchased at auction by land improvement expert K. Paliūnas. In 1940, the manor was nationalized. During the Soviet era, the manor housed a retirement home, followed by a cultural center. Both wooden wings of the manor were demolished, and one was replaced by an architecturally inferior two-story extension. After the restoration of Lithuania's independence, the manor was returned to its former owners. On December 12, 2008, Žibuliai Manor was included in the Cultural Heritage Register (unique code 548). Today, the manor site retains fragments of the palace, several farm buildings, and scattered trees in the park. The territory is maintained, and new gates have been erected.
