It is a monument of historicist architecture with elements of Neo-Gothic, classicism, eclectic style, located halfway between Vilnius and Trakai.

The manor house is two storeys high, the flutes are single, decorated with eight sculptures, the entrance hall is plaster boarded with the Tiškevičiai family Lelyvai coat of arms.

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 Trakų Vokė, which at that time was a leased farm.

Marconi was inspired by the architecture of the Polish royalty’s residence of Palace on the Isle in Warsaw, creating a similar neoclassical manor house at Trakų Vokė.The buildings included the manor house, a kitchen and laundry building, a steward’s house, the farm labourers’ 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.

Jan Józef invited the famous landscape architect Édouard André to the manor in order to redesign the park.

From André's notes, we know that together with his son Rene (also a professional landscape architect), he visited Trakų Vokė for the first time in 1898.

Even with a beautiful new garden and manor house, however, the Tyszkiewiczs were rare guests at Trakų Vokė as Jan Józef’s wife, Elżbieta Maria suffered from tuberculosis and spent most of her time in warmer climes for relief.

She not only ordered her children to “obey their superiors” in their childhood, but also to respect their homeland, foster family harmony and walk through life honestly and without hypocrisy.

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.

Today, few people remember that the town received water, power and lighting thanks to the initiative and financing of Jan Michał, who built up a local stream in Pabradė and almost went bankrupt because of it.

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 Róża.

In 1939, returning from a birthday celebration thrown in his honour in Podlasie, Jan Michał died tragically in an aircraft accident.

In 2002, The Royal Union of Lithuanian Nobility received a lease for the Trakų Vokė Manor from the Government of the Republic of Lithuania for 99 years.

The Manor is now open to guests all year round with concerts, performances, exhibitions, guided tours, and cultural and private events.
