This manor was owned by a single family, the Komars, for many centuries. And even today, which is quite rare, it once again belongs to a Komar descendant – the granddaughter of the last owner before the ill-fated nationalisation. Now beautifully restored, it gladly welcomes visitors who want to stroll around and look about the grounds. Visitors are especially drawn by the manor's unique appearance – the ruins beside it, which arouse curiosity and make for great photos. The small manor house surrounded by greenery that we see today is only part of what stood here before the Second World War. The red-brick ruins beside it, contrasting with the white walls of the surviving and repaired part, clearly show that the building used to be larger. Two half-ruined towers joined by an arched corridor show that it was definitely not the larger part of the manor that survived to our day. The manor was badly damaged during the Second World War, when the Germans dropped a bomb to destroy a Soviet army unit stationed here. In the old days the manor house was surrounded by a two-hectare English-style park with a great variety of trees. Today around the manor you can still see century-old lindens and birches, Canadian maples, a Siberian larch and white poplars. These trees seem to be all that is left of the park. The last owner of the manor travelled widely abroad. A Kuril larch – rare in Lithuania – that he brought from the Kuril Islands still grows on the manor grounds. In the manor courtyard there are also stables with unique dolomite columns. Nobody keeps horses there any more, but the building, like all the others on the manor grounds, is an architectural monument. In the manor's heyday – for example, between the wars – Palėvenė Manor ran an intensive farm. At that time 130 people lived on the manor's land, and many hired labourers worked there. The manor was always full of guests, with frequent family and friends' gatherings and parties. Yes, in the old days the manor grounds were full of activity, movement and sound. Now it is a quiet, beautifully kept, cosy place.
