Explore the history of the Nemėžis Manor complex, a former residential manor near Vilnius, Lithuania, that has transitioned from a noble residence to a museum.

Nemėžis Manor is a former residential manor in Nemėžis, near Vilnius, Lithuania. The complex features a sixteenth-century building that was originally constructed of wood until the nineteenth century.

The manor was previously owned by the Radziwiłł, Sapieha, Chodkiewicz, and Ogiński noble families. In 1828, Mykolas Tiškevičius purchased the manor and initiated the construction of two of the buildings that remain today between 1840 and 1856.

Now operating as a museum, the manor complex preserves the history of the noble families who inhabited the estate over the centuries.
