Vilkaviškis Manor

In the notes of cleric (later prelate) Butkevičius, it is recorded that on 21 June Napoleon himself arrived and settled in the Vilkaviškis manor.

In the vicinity of the manor, on 21 June Marshal Louis-Alexandre Berthier, Chief of the Army General Staff, issued a recall signed by Napoleon which was effectively a declaration of war against Russia.

From 1864 till 1904 a Russian army general lived in the manor, during World War I - the Germans.

Later, the manor with 80 hectares was bought from the state by priest P. Karalius, after which the Vilkaviškis diocese's curia settled there, bishops Antanas Karosas and Mečislovas Reinys lived here.

The manor was liquidated in 1940, during the Soviet campaign of 1940 - on 5 August the land reform law was passed.
