History
In the 16th century, the estate, then known as Litwaryszki, belonged to Jan Sokołowicz-Kuncewicz, Marshal of the Royal Court.[5] It was later acquired through marriage by Marcin Komorowski. At the beginning of the 17th century, it was purchased by the Sapiehas. Between 1668 and 1760, the estate belonged to the Benedictine nuns of Vilnius.[5] Jan Mikołaj Chodkiewicz recovered it from them through legal proceedings. After his death, it came into the possession of the Francuzowicz, Hryniewicz, Dąbrowski, and Szachno families.[5]
Following the partitions of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth the town became part of the Russian Empire.
19th century
In 1850 the estate was bought from the Szachno family by Count Józef Tyszkiewicz (1835-1891).[5] In 1885 he had a Tudor-style palace built on the northern shore of Lake Lentvaris,[6] which was widened during 1850-1873; a causeway connected the estate, which was surrounded on three sides by water, with the town.
The manor house was built in two stages. In 1865-1866 it was led by Gustav Shachn. The manor house was a two or three-storey building with a wide entrance porch façade, a tall tower on the southwest side, and on the other side had a lower, two-storey wing. It faced the lake. It was in Józef Tyszkiewicz’s time that almost all the farm buildings were built as well.
Józef also planted a large park next to it, designed by the well-known French landscape architect Édouard André: local and foreign trees (larch, gray walnut, silver and Swedler maples, etc.) predominated.[7]
