A must-see place of unique architecture in Lithuanian context. Currently under reconstruction, yet open to the public. The staff provides interesting historical facts. The ancient family house and the surrounding buildings are beautifully integrated into the landscape. The best view from a distance opens up from Siesikai beach.
