Villa complex

Villa “Vilija”, 20 J. Basanavičius str.

The villa was built at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. It is believed to have been built by the family of Count Tiškevičius. The wooden villa “Vilija” with a gabled tin roof, formerly covered with shingles, reflects the traditions of folk architecture.
In 1950-1951 the villa was renovated: the room layout was changed and separate rooms for holidaymakers were built. Later the villa was reconstructed several times: in 1970 the ground floor was enlarged, in 1972 the attic was reconstructed, three rooms were replaced by one and two windows were cut out, and in 1976 an extension was added. In 1997 the building was entered into the Register of Cultural Property of the Republic of Lithuania.

Pajauta Villa, 22 J. Basanavičiaus Street

The Pajauta villa was built at the end of the 19th century and its architectural design is similar to the nearby complex of half-timbered villas (J. Basanavičiaus str. 26, 28, 30, 32, 34). The villa is also of half-timbered construction and is distinguished by its architectural forms and elements of classical decoration. Since there is evidence that other half-timbered houses in J. Basanavičiaus Street belonged to S. Tiškevičius and her family, it is assumed that this villa may also have belonged to Count Tiškevičius.
In 1993, the building was included in the Register of Cultural Property of the Republic of Lithuania. At present the building is used as a restaurant.
