Jurbarkas Manor is located in the western part of Jurbarkas town. In a beautiful park on the left bank of the Mituva River, Prince Vasilchikov built stylish palaces, expanded the park, and surrounded it with a red brick wall. Near the main palace, two additional buildings, known as wings (flygels), were constructed. The southern flygel housed the prince's servants and possibly the manor's office. The northern flygel was lavishly decorated for the prince's family or guests. Near the northern flygel, to the northeast, a small but quite ornate brick church was built.

accessible by a bridge near the festival stage. The park covers an area of about 9 hectares and has a mixed layout. The central part features a parterre surrounded by a loop of access avenues running east to west. The park's groves consist of local maples, lindens, and birches, with admixtures of oaks and hornbeams. The avenues are lined with European larches and black pines. The main avenue connects the neoclassical-style palace with the once ornate decorative gates that led to the town street. The second gate is in the northeastern part. The park is bordered by Jurbarkas town to the north and east, residential areas to the south, and an undulating landscape with the Mituva River and its valley to the west.
