It is a monument of historicist architecture with elements of Neo-Gothic, classicism, eclectic style, located halfway between Vilnius and Trakai. The Manor was established in the end of the 19th century.The manor is fenced with a brick fence with pseudo-Gothic oriental style gates and urns. At the gate stands the guard-Swiss house. The manor house is two storeys high, the flutes are single, decorated with eight sculptures, the entrance hall is plaster boarded with the Ti\u0161kevi\u010diai family Lelyvai coat of arms. The anteroom was supported by four columns and from there continued a gallery where, without furniture, hung paintings by Suchodolski.Today’s manor ensemble has a palace decorated with colonists, a square 15-meter bell tower with two towers, chapel that was built in 1870 and other buildings. The water reservoir has two cascading stone pools. The water here flows in a pipe from the source. The fence of the homestead has also survived.[1][2]Table of ContentsHistory[edit]The Tyszkiewicz family[edit]Jan Witold Tyszkiewicz (1831-1892)[edit]Jan J\u00f3zef Tyszkiewicz\u2019s (1867-1903)[edit]Jan Micha\u0142 Tyszkiewicz (1896-1939)[edit]The Interwar Period[edit]World War II and the Soviet Period[edit]The Present Period[edit]Gallery[edit]Significant depictions in popular culture[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]History[edit]The name Vok\u0117 was first mentioned in 1375, when a battle between the Lithuanians and the Teutonic Order took place in the area. In 1396 Grand Duke Vytautas the Great (c1350-1430) settled Tartars in the area. In 1415 the Vok\u0117 village became property of a Benedictine Monastery. Trak\u0173 Vok\u0117 estate can first be found in historical sources in the 16th century.In the middle of the 19th century, in the present territory of Trak\u0173 Vok\u0117 Manor, there was a manor owned by Nobleman Trakai Marshal Ludwig Dombrovski.The Tyszkiewicz family[edit]The Tyszkiewicz family (probably J\u00f3zef Tyszkiewicz (1805-1844)) bought the estate from Dombrovski in the mid-19th century. J\u00f3zef Tyszkiewicz was from the second branch of the Bir\u017eai family of Lithuanian nobles.[3]In 1850, the property with an area of 4735 land tithes included a farm and nine villages.Jan Witold Tyszkiewicz (1831-1892)[edit]  Jan Witold Tyszkiewicz’s wife Iza Tyszkiewicz – Carolus-DuranThe estate was then handed down to J\u00f3zef\u2019s son, Jan Witold Tyszkiewicz (1831-1892).[4] Jan was Marshal of Nobility for Vilnius and Ashmyany County.Initially, Jan Witold visited only in the summers but after the uprising of 1863, he moved from Valozhyn (in modern-day Belarus), which was far from Vilnius, to Trak\u0173 Vok\u0117, which at that time was a leased farm. He grew to like the area and decided to build a home.Between 1876 and 1880 Jan built the manor house that stands today. The architect was the Italian Leonard Marconi. Marconi was inspired by the architecture of the Polish royalty\u2019s residence of Palace on the Isle in Warsaw, creating a similar neoclassical manor house at Trak\u0173 Vok\u0117.  The buildings included the manor house, a kitchen and laundry building, a steward\u2019s house, the farm labourers\u2019 quarters, a granary, a signal tower, a stable barn and a chapel – all grouped around a spacious yard, and once surrounded by a stone wall (fragments which survive to this day) with gates on three sides. This lay-out manifests an important feature of Historicist architecture, i.e., an attempt to move away from the ceremonial aspect of previous epochs and to return to the traditional and practical structure of a peasant farm. Distinctive Neoclassical, Neo-Gothic and eclectic elements, as well as traditions of ethnic building, are visible in the wooden houses.[5]In 1885 the estate consisted of 4,735 tenths of land.From 1880 Jan Witold\u2019s health began to decline and he began to spend a lot of time abroad consulting with Viennese doctors.In 1892, Jan Witold died and was buried in the family grave in the basement of the chapel he had built himself.  Jan J\u00f3zef Tyszkiewicz c1890  Jan J\u00f3zef Tyszkiewicz\u2019s (1867-1903)[edit]Jan J\u00f3zef Tyszkiewicz[6] inherited Trak\u0173 Vok\u0117.Jan J\u00f3zef was an intellectual, so his mother had to oversee the business of the estate. As one story goes: a  butler (also named Jan) ran up to Jan J\u00f3zef to inform him that there was a thief in the library. Jan J\u00f3zef replied: \u201cInteresting, and what is he reading?\u201d Jan J\u00f3zef collected foreign periodicals and meticulously supplemented the palace’s library collections.Jan J\u00f3zef invited the famous landscape architect \u00c9douard Andr\u00e9 to the manor in order to redesign the park. From Andr\u00e9’s notes, we know that together with his son Rene (also a professional gardener), he visited Trak\u0173 Vok\u0117 for the first time in 1898. Work on the park and garden were completed in 1900.Even with a beautiful new garden and  manor house, however, the Tyszkiewiczs were rare guests at Trak\u0173 Vok\u0117 as Jan J\u00f3zef\u2019s wife, El\u017cbieta Maria suffered from tuberculosis and spent most of her time in warmer climes for relief. However, ironically it would be Jan J\u00f3zef who would die first.In 1903, on a trip to Davos Switzerland, which the family took for the health benefits mountain air would give his wife, Jan J\u00f3zef died unexpectedly of appendicitis in front of his family at the age of thirty-five.Jan Micha\u0142 Tyszkiewicz (1896-1939)[edit]After Jan J\u00f3zef’s death, the manor was inherited by his eldest son, Jan Micha\u0142 Tyszkiewicz (1896-1939).[7]Jan Micha\u0142, however, was only seven years old at the time of his father\u2019s death and his three siblings were even younger. The young family spent most of the next few years in Davos.  Jan Micha\u0142\u2019s mother, El\u017cbieta Maria, died two years later, in 1905. On her deathbed, she dictated her last will to her mother, Countess R\u00f3\u017ca n\u00e9e Potocki (1849-1937). She not only ordered her children to \u201cobey their superiors\u201d in their childhood, but also to respect their homeland, foster family harmony and walk through life honestly and without hypocrisy. She appointed her mother, as the caretaker of four orphans. R\u00f3\u017ca brought them back to Trak\u0173 Vok\u0117.Jan Micha\u0142 took part in the Polish-Soviet War of 1918-1920.The estates were ruined after the war, without farm facilities, agricultural machinery and tools. Jan Micha\u0142 was forced to take out bank loans, which he worked hard to repay for years. The preserved letters show how rarely he visited his beloved Trak\u0173 Vok\u0117,  and how he went out of his way to help his brothers.The Interwar Period[edit]In the interwar period, Trak\u0173 Vok\u0117 was a part of Poland. Like the neighbouring estates, the manor house didn\u2019t have central heating, and until 1939, not all the rooms were renovated. Money instead was allocated for the land, farm, the water supply and a bathhouse for workers, as the disastrous state of hygiene at that time caused numerous and rapidly spreading diseases. In order to cope with all this, in addition to agriculture, Jan Micha\u0142 took over industry; taking over and developing a paper factory in Waka Murowana and building a cardboard factory in Pabrad\u0117. Today, few people remember that the town received water, power and lighting thanks to the initiative and financing of Jan Micha\u0142, who built up a local stream in Pabrad\u0117 and almost went bankrupt because of it.In the years 1930-1935 Jan Micha\u0142 was a member of the Sejm of the Second Polish Republic of the 3rd term of office, a member of the Union of Landowners, a counsellor of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Vilnius, a member of the parish board of Catholic Action in Lentvaris and the Vilnius Charity Society, as well as many other social, economic and philanthropic organizations. He also financially supported these organizations.  Tyszkiewicz Palace in Valozhyn (1919-39)The conservative Vilnius newspaper S\u0142owo also owed its birth to him.Before 1939, Jan Micha\u0142 owned the following properties: Trak\u0173 Vok\u0117, Valozhyn (in modern-day Belarus) and Surch\u00f3w (in modern-day Poland). He inherited the last ones under the will of  Polish philosopher, economist and social and political activist August Cieszkowski (1814-1894), a friend of the family and a great admirer of Grandma R\u00f3\u017ca. Therefore, according to the wishes of the deceased donor, Jan Micha\u0142 was called Cieszkowski-Tyszkiewicz.Jan lived in Trak\u0173 Vok\u0117 with his wife Anna Maria Janina Tyszkiewicz (n\u00e9e Radziwi\u0142\u0142) (1907-1983) daughter of Jonas Karol Radziwi\u0142\u0142 (brother of Prince Constantin Radziwi\u0142\u0142 – owner of Tauj\u0117nai Manor) and Izabel\u0117 Vodzicka. In 1939, returning from a birthday celebration thrown in his honour in Podlasie, Jan Micha\u0142 died tragically in an aircraft accident.Anna and her three younger children (Anna, E\u017ebieta and Zygmunt) stayed for a few months at Trak\u0173 Vok\u0117 but then, in fear of the Russian occupying army, retreated to the West.World War II and the Soviet Period[edit]  During World War II colonists from the Netherlands lived in the manor. The paintings, furniture, crystal chandeliers and other valuable items were stolen, and the exterior was damaged.In 1945 the manor became the headquarters of the Council of Ministers of the LSSR and later the Vok\u0117 branch of the Dotnuva Institute of Agriculture. In 1952 the manor housed the Institute of Agriculture and Soil of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences.During the Soviet era, the palace was restored, partitioned with new wooden partitions, a new heating system was introduced, paintings, tapestries, carpets, furniture, as well as sculptures adorning the building were lost. For several years, the palace was left to its fate, but restored after the war (architect A. Lagunavi\u010dius). In 1970 some elements of the palace interior were restored by architect J. Zibolis. The manor house was renovated in 1971-1978.The Present Period[edit]In 2002, The Royal Union of Lithuanian Nobility received a lease for the Trak\u0173 Vok\u0117 Manor from the Government of the Republic of Lithuania for 99 years. In 2004 the historical cultural centre of the public institution Dvarai Culture Center was established. Since 2014 the manor has been managed by Public Institution \u2018Trak\u0173 Vok\u0117s dvaro sodyba\u2019.The Manor is now open to guests all year round with concerts, performances, exhibitions, guided tours, and cultural and private events. Films such as \u2018War and Peace\u2019, \u2018Anna Karenina\u2019, \u2018Pop against Hitler\u2019, and the serial \u2018Price of Freedom. Volunteers\u2019 among others were filmed at Trak\u0173 Vok\u0117.Gallery[edit]Gates to the manor territoryFragment of the manor parkSignificant depictions in popular culture[edit]References[edit]^ “Official page of the Traku Voke Manor”. tvds.lt.
