Kurėnai Manor is a historical heritage site located in Ukmergė District, in the village of Kurėnai, Vidiškiai Eldership, on the picturesque shores of Lake Kurėnai. Surrounded by a century-old park, this manor estate spans an area of 11.2 hectares and is listed in the Register of Cultural Heritage (unique code 794). The architectural evolution of the manor took place from the early 19th century to the first half of the 20th century, though its history dates back even further. Today, visitors to Kurėnai Manor can see the surviving single-story palace with a two-story red brick tower at its center, the old granary, and remnants of a barn and stable. Over the centuries, the manor was owned by various noble families, including the Gintautas, Dąbrowskis, and Kozakovskis. The Kozakovski family managed the estate for nearly 130 years (1804–1934)

and played a significant role in Lithuania’s historical events. Juozapas Kozakovskis was a participant in the 1831 uprising and served as the commander of the rebel forces in Ukmergė. Meanwhile, Stanislovas Kozakovskis organized a rebel unit during the 1863 uprising, led a battalion, and was executed in Ukmergė following the defeat. The manor has preserved its historical atmosphere and holds the potential to be revived. Restoration efforts, guided by cultural heritage specialists, aim to maintain the estate’s authentic materials and architectural integrity. This site is remarkable not only for its buildings but also for its vast park, featuring a centuries-old linden alley and majestic oak trees. Kurėnai Manor is a historical treasure and a unique tourist destination where cultural heritage and natural beauty intertwine.
