Day 128. Short trip to Trakų Vokė Manor

#AroundVilnius

Traku Vokė Manor, one of the few manors in / around Vilnius, is located around 20km away from the city centre.

To be precise Traku Vokė is still located on the Vilnius City territory.




Architect: Oleandro Marconi

Traku Voke Manor was deserted for many years, however it has received financing from EU funds and I believe it will be brought back to its days of splendour again.

Trakų Vokė Manor page was launched this year 2019 ( And I really hope that the page will be active for a long yers).

In December 2019 175 young linden are planned to be grown @Manor (on 15min.lt in LT).

Best time to visit  it is of course Spring-Summer when all the surroundings are green.

Trakų Vokė Manor as well as Lentvaris Manor (Day 57) belonged to graphs TyszkiewiczowieJuozapas Mykolas Tiškevičius , the 2nd Manager of Majoratas in Astravas is mentioned as it's Owner.
