Sapieha Palace

Having stood empty for the past three decades, Sapieha Palace is filling up again, hoping to resurrect the active cultural life that used to take place here since the time of the Great Duchy of Lithuania. Built at the end of the 17th century, this Baroque-style building was rebuilt multiple times, serving as everything from an out-of-town residence to a school, military complex, and hospital. Today, after painstaking examination and restoration, the palace’s visitors are offered educational activities, exhibitions, tours, music shows, and community projects. The museum team’s goal is to turn it into an international-level space where history would be duly honoured and put in dialogue with contemporary art.
