The Classicist-style ensemble of Vidiškiai Manor has been revived

as a 19th-century gem of Eastern Aukštaitija. The spacious hall, several luxurious banquet halls, and 20 guest rooms have been authentically restored, along with a cozy library. The rooms are furnished with Baroque, Rococo, and Empire-style furniture. On the southern side of the manor is one of the most beautiful terraced parks in Lithuania, unique in that it is surrounded by ponds and features an alley of century-old poplars stretching towards Lake Varnis. The restored ensemble of the main manor buildings includes these 19th-century structures: a bathhouse, a barn, an office building, an ice house, and a brewery. Vidiškiai Manor is a cultural heritage site protected by the Lithuanian state. The Vidiškiai Manor Park is a locally significant natural monument (since 1986).
