On August 29, we invite you to the presentation of the book "The Language of Dreams" by Rita Bany Banienė

On August 29, Lentvaris Manor is hosting a meeting with the longtime dream researcher, lecturer, and one of Lithuania's most renowned dream interpreters, Rita Bany Banienė. The author will present her book "The Language of Dreams" and invite you to look at dreams as a unique world of subconscious signs and symbols.

During the meeting, we will discuss why we dream, how to better remember our dreams, and what the people, animals, places, and recurring situations that appear in them might mean. Rita Bany Banienė will share her years of experience in dream research and explain where to start in order to better understand your dreams.

There are 2 scheduled times for the event – 14:00 and 17:00. For participants of the guided tours around Lentvaris Manor, the book presentation will be free of charge. Those wishing to attend only the presentation are offered a visit to the palace tower and a meeting with the author for 15 euros plus VAT. During the event, it will be possible to purchase the book "The Language of Dreams" and get the author's signature.

We are organizing guided tours and cultural activities in the Tyszkiewicz palace undergoing restoration

Lentvaris Manor is entering a new stage of its life. As we continue the restoration work on the palace, we are gradually opening it to visitors and creating a space where historical heritage meets contemporary culture, learning, and a vibrant community.

On weekends, we invite you to guided tours. During these tours, you can access parts of the palace under restoration, see the surviving architectural details, traces of Soviet-era alterations, and spaces that are still awaiting their rebirth.

By prior arrangement, you can also visit the palace tower. Since the restoration work is ongoing, the visited areas and access conditions may change. Our goal is for visitors to explore the manor safely while witnessing the genuine process of its reconstruction.

During the tours, we show the manor as it is today

Lentvaris Manor is not yet fully restored. Here, you will not see only polished halls and a completed exhibition. The palace still reveals layers from different periods, damaged structures, surviving fragments of decoration, and changes left by later reconstructions.

During the tours, we talk about how the purpose of the palace has changed, the damage caused to the building by long years of neglect, and the challenges we face in restoring it. We explain why some elements can be recreated, others have to be conserved, and why certain decisions still require additional research.

It is important for us to show the entire path of the manor's rebirth. The final result begins with a multitude of invisible works: strengthening structures, removing moisture, repairing the roof, installing engineering systems, and preserving authentic fragments.

The palace tower opens up a different view of Lentvaris

One of the most prominent highlights of the Lentvaris Manor palace is the neo-Gothic tower. It shapes the entire silhouette of the palace and recalls the times when the Tyszkiewicz residence was designed as an architectural ensemble resembling an English castle.

Climbing the tower reveals a panorama of Lentvaris, the surroundings of the manor, and views of the historic park. From above, it is easier to see how the palace was connected to the park, water bodies, paths, and other buildings of the manor estate.

The tower can be visited by prior arrangement. We coordinate access possibilities according to the ongoing works in the palace at that time, the number of visitors, and safety conditions.

Events and new activities are increasing at Lentvaris Manor

We want Lentvaris Manor to be visited not only for its architecture. We are already hosting lectures, book presentations, yoga classes, educational programs, and calendar holidays in the palace. Each such activity helps to bring life back to the building.

In the summer of 2026, the manor already hosted a lecture and the presentation of the book "Sarmatia. The Forgotten History", a yoga day program, and an Assumption Day event. The presentation of the book "The Language of Dreams" by Rita Bany Banienė will continue this program, combining an introduction to the palace with a conversation about the world of dreams.

While the palace is being restored, we adapt the size and nature of the events to the actual capabilities of the building. Not all rooms can be used at the moment, so the number of participants is often limited, and advance registration for activities is required.

Restoration takes place in stages and requires time

The reconstruction of Lentvaris Manor is not a single construction project. A cultural heritage object of this size and condition requires historical and architectural research, structural reinforcement, roof and facade repairs, the installation of engineering systems, and the restoration of surviving details.

In the palace, we implemented the European Union-funded project "Renovation of the Lentvaris Manor Palace and its Adaptation for Cultural Needs". It received 673,491.18 euros in EU funding. These funds helped to carry out some of the necessary work, but the overall reconstruction of the palace is a much larger and longer process.

Each stage opens up new questions. Removing layers of later finishes can reveal fragments from earlier periods, damaged structures, or previously unknown architectural elements. In such cases, decisions have to be reviewed and adapted to what the building itself has revealed.

Registration is required before arriving at Lentvaris Manor

Lentvaris Manor is located at 48 Maple Avenue, about 18 km from Vilnius. By car, the palace can be reached from the capital in about 20 minutes. A free parking lot is available near the manor gates.

We organize guided tours on Saturdays and Sundays. The price of the tour is 20 euros per person. A visit to the palace tower costs 15 euros and is organized by prior arrangement.

It will not always be possible to enter the palace if you arrive independently. Restoration work is ongoing in the building, so we organize visits at set times and control the number of visitors. Before your trip, we invite you to register and check which areas of the manor will be open that day.
