Overview
The Vileišis Palace is a stunning early 20th-century ensemble, captivating visitors with its blend of Neo-Baroque and Art Nouveau styles. Commissioned by cultural figure Petras Vileišis, its well-preserved interior features ornate ceilings, a grand staircase, and a remarkable collection of thirteen decorative tiled stoves imported from Holland. The complex was a center for Lithuanian language preservation and hosted the first Lithuanian art exhibition in 1907. Today, the palace serves as the Institute of Lithuanian Literature and Folklore. Public access is highly restricted, so visitors should confirm opening hours or aim to visit during special events like 'Open House Vilnius' for a chance to experience the interior with a guided tour.
