Burbiškis Manor is a former residential manor in Radviliškis district.[1] It is most famous for its tulips festival in spring.[2]

History

The manor was first mentioned in 1618. The first owners, the Burba family, gave the village its name.[3] From 1819 to 1941, the manor belonged to the Bażeński family. Michał Ignacy Bażeński's son Michał was married to Marija, poet and daughter of cultural activist Petras Vileišis. Kornel Makuszyński, a renowned Polish writer of children's and youth literature, was married to Emilia Bażeńska, daughter of Michał Ignacy. The couple lived in Burbiškis in 1912–14.[4] Therefore, in the early 20th century, Burbiškis was one of the places for cultural meetings of intelligentsia.

Architecture

The manor is quite well preserved with some original interior. The manor houses a small museum and a guesthouse. The buildings are surrounded by a 28-hectare (69-acre) park with man-made lakes that feature 15 islands connected by 12 bridges.[5] The park also has monuments to Romantic poet Adam Mickiewicz (erected in 1911), medieval ruler Vytautas the Great (1912), Saint Mary.[3] Every spring the park hosts a festival showcasing some 400 different varieties of tulips.[3]
