Aukštadvaris Manor is in Aukštadvaris, Lithuania. The palace, park, and ponds have survived.
History
editA manor was mentioned in Aukštadvaris in the 16th century. It stood on Aukštadvaris Hillfort.
In 1837, Antoni Malewski built the present-day manor complex with its park and trout ponds, which have survived up until now. The Malewski family controlled the manor until the First World War. A tuberculosis hospital operated at the manor after the Second World War.
One of the oaks in the manor garden is known as the Adam Mickiewicz Oak (natural monument; about 20 m high, 4.4 m wide). Philomath P. Malewski was a friend of Adam Mickiewicz and so the poet frequently visited Aukštadvaris. He loved to sit under the oak in the manor's park near Aukštadvaris Hillfort.
