Pavermenys Manor
Pavermenys Manor (Lithuanian: Pavermenio dvaras) is a former residential manor in the village of Pavermenys, Kėdainiai District Municipality, Lithuania.[1][2] Pavermenys Manor was established in 1585. The surviving ensemble includes two manor houses (one being a main manor building, dating from the 17th and 19th centuries), a granary, ice house, and park with old linden alley.[3][4]
The main manor house is a two-storey Classical (Neoclassical) building with single-storey wings; the principal façade features a portico and the wall planes are articulated with pilasters.[3] The manor is set within a landscaped park originating in the 18th century, where several notable and uncommon trees are recorded, including Eastern white pine (Pinus strobus), large-leaved linden (Tilia platyphyllos), silver birch (Betula pendula) and yellow-flowering horse-chestnut (Aesculus flava).[3]
History
[edit]Pavermenys Manor was first mentioned in written sources from 1585.[5][4] Over the centuries, it was owned by the Truskauskas, Brunov, Bružovskis, and Beriozov families.
Over time the estate was owned by several noble families, including the Truskauskai, Brunov (Brunovai/Brünnow), Bružovskiai and Beriozov families; the Brunov family, originally from Courland, took control of the estate in 1748 and at the end of the 18th century/beginning of the 19th century they erected the two current manor houses.[4]
After World War II, the manor buildings were adapted for use as a school, which operated until 1983. Today, the manor complex is privately owned.[4]
