Fachverk Villa Complex

The villa complex is characterised by elements of Swiss style combined with Prussian timber-frame construction traditions. The complex is considered one of the oldest in Palanga and dates back to the time when the aristocracy – friends and relatives of the Counts of Tiškevičius – came to Palanga at the invitation of the family. The complex of Fachverk villas consists of five buildings located in the western part of the territory between the Ronžė River and J. Basanavičiaus Street.

The largest and oldest villa in the complex is located at 28 J. Basanavičiaus Street. It was built at the end of the 19th century by Count A. Tiškevičius, who sold it to his mother S. Tiškeviviciene. Later the villa changed owners: in 1929 it belonged to M. Bučmienė, and in 1934 it was owned by M. Bučmienė’s brother, priest J. Maksvičius. The villa was nationalised in 1940, and between 1945 and 1975 residential apartments were built. The villa has a horizontal volume, a rectangular ground plan and is a one-storey building with an attic.
