Raudondvaris Castle
Raudondvario dvaras
A red-brick castle manor on the Neris riverbank northwest of Kaunas, with a main building topped by round towers and a manor park that suits a half-day outing.
Located on the Neris River about 10 km northwest of Kaunas city centre, the manor was begun in the 16th–17th centuries and earned its name, “Red Manor,” from its red-brick exterior. The Tyszkiewicz counts later remodeled it into a towered manor castle. It now houses the Kaunas District tourist information centre and an art school. Visitors can tour the exhibitions in the main building, while the manor park and the stables and greenhouses are free to wander. Concerts are often held here in summer. It can be reached by car or suburban bus.
