Manors, Churches, Ethnographical Villages, Mills

Vidiškės Manor is decorated not only with a classicist–style palace, but also with a terraced garden leading towards Lake Varnys.

Vidiškės manor is mentioned in the second half of the 18th century (1782, 1784). At that time, it belonged to Mr. N. Ragoža. In 1782, the manor, having received permission from the Vilnius diocese, built a chapel in its manor. In 1807, the manor was owned by Count Liudvikas Pliateris, who built a new chapel in the same year and the manor was called Pšijazn. The manor had 19 farm and residential buildings: a one-story wooden manor house with classicist features, 6 manor workers' houses, a mill, a bathhouse, a barn, 5 stables, a barn, a forge, a granary, and an ice cream parlor.

The classicist-style Vidiškės Manor Palace ensemble is a revived 19th century pearl of Eastern Aukštaitija. A spacious hall, a couple of luxurious banquet halls, 20 authentically furnished guest rooms, and a cozy library have been restored. The rooms of the palace are furnished with Baroque, Rococo, and Empire-style furniture. On the southern side of the palace is one of the most beautiful terraced parks in Lithuania, unique in that it is surrounded by ponds and has a preserved avenue of century-old poplars stretching along Lake Varnys. The restored ensemble of the main manor palace consists of the following 19th century buildings: a bathhouse, a barn, an officia, an ice cream parlor, and a brewery. Vidiškės Manor is a cultural heritage site protected by the Lithuanian state. Vidiškės Manor Park is a natural monument of local significance (1986).

    Vidiškių dvaro restauravimo pradžia ir panaudojimo perspektyva, jame anksčiau lankantis, kėlė rimtų abejonių, tačiau viešinama saviniko pozicija ir indėlis, manytina, byloja apie pagarbą kultūros paveldui, dėmesį jo vertybėms.
