Manor house

 
 
IRIS VILLA

The Manor House is one of the most valuable cultural heritage buildings in the Čiobiškis Manor estate. Designed by the most prominent national architect Laurynas Gucevičius in the Neoclassical style, this building is registered in the state’s valuable properties registry as a ‘rare’ structure.

 

Neoclassical traces

Here are some of its distinctive architectural details – flat porticos with Doric columns on the western and eastern facades, each composed of 2 half-columns and corner pilasters with wide entablatures, topped by triangular pediments; illusory painted windows in niches on the western and northern facades; triangular pediments on the southern and northern facades finished with profiled cornices and modillions.

The Manor House serves as the main residence of the manor. It is a lived-in house where the manor’s owners would reside. Despite the centuries of changes, these rooms still retain the well-preserved spatial structure typical of the Neoclassical style. And the walls themselves tell a story – from the time when the same painter adorned the walls of the Čiobiškis church and manor in the 19th century, to the present day when we unveiled them for heritage researchers and our admiration.

Inherited flower – Iris

Here are some of its distinctive architectural details – flat porticos with Doric columns on the western and eastern facades, each composed of 2 half-columns and corner pilasters with wide entablatures, topped by triangular pediments; illusory painted windows in niches on the western and northern facades; triangular pediments on the southern and northern facades finished with profiled cornices and modillions.

What’s truly remarkable is that the outlines of the irises making up the railing are parallel to those found on the walls of a room within the Manor House.

We especially invite you to visit the awakening estate in spring – during the month of May – when the manor is adorned with blooming irises. We will pay special attention to these beautiful flowers, ensuring their presence in the orangery and throughout the entire estate. We believe that the blooming of irises will become an annual celebration of the manor!
