| Description |
The Radvilos Palace (architect Jonas Ulrichas) was built at the end of the 17th century on the request of Jonusas Radvila (1612-1655), the chief of Samogitia, the hetman of Lithuania, and the voivode of Vilnius. We can see such palace on a medal forged by a German medallist Sebastian Dadler (1586-1657) in 1653 on the occasion of Jonusas Radvila?s inauguration as the vaivode of Vilnius. The palace was of three stores, with two stored galleries full of mannered décor and the Renaissance-like shapes. In the middle of the 17th century it was one of the most beautiful buildings in Vilnius. Unfortunately, it was devastated by the war with Russia in 1654, wars of the 18th century and also raging fires. At the beginning of the 19th century Dominykas Radvila (1786-1813) gave the ruined palace to Vilnius Philanthropy Society. In 1967 restoration of the Palace started. |
