Lokinė Manor

5 out of 5

(1 reviews)

Lokinė Manor is a historical site in the Ukmergė district, once home to prominent noble families. Dating back to the 16th century, only the manor’s outbuildings and early 19th-century cellars remain today. The estate was long owned by the Končia family, with one of its most famous members, Medardas Končia, participating in the 1831 and 1863 Uprisings, which led to his exile in Russia.

The manor’s name is linked either to the bears that once inhabited the area or to the Polish word luk (bow), symbolizing the Končia family coat of arms. Although the manor is gone, its history lives on through the Končia family chapel in the Siesikai cemetery.

Lokinė Manor is a historic site in the Ukmergė district, Siesikai eldership, echoing the times of nobility and uprisings. The remains of the manor estate stand near a silting pond, about 4 km north of Siesikai town. Today, only the manor’s outbuildings have survived, including a brick granary, a stable-barn, an office (wing), and two servant houses. The main mansion is gone, with only the red-brick cellars from the early 19th century remaining. The manor’s history dates back to the 16th century when, in 1585, Lokinė farmstead was part of Siesikai Manor. For centuries, it was owned by renowned noble families—Daumantai, Radziwiłłs, and Grotthus—until Juozapas Končia acquired it in 1790. The Končia family managed Lokinė until World

War II, leaving a significant mark on Lithuanian history. One of the most notable owners was Medardas Končia (1808–1899), who actively participated in the 1831 Uprising, leading to his exile in the Arkhangelsk province. After returning, he became the marshal of Ukmergė nobility but was arrested again during the 1863 Uprising. The manor was then confiscated and looted. The name “Lokinė” is believed to recall the times when bears roamed the area, but it might also originate from the Polish word luk (bow), which appears on the Končia family coat of arms. Today, history still lingers in the area—the Končia family chapel, dating back to the 18th–19th centuries, stands in the Siesikai cemetery, preserving the memory of the past.
