Markučiai Manor Museum

The Markučiai Manor Museum in Vilnius is housed in a historic manor house built in 1868 by the Russian engineer Aleksejus Melnikov. The estate is closely tied to the family of the poet Alexander Pushkin, as his son Grigory lived here. After the property was nationalized in 1940, the building opened as a museum in 1948. Today you can explore the historic villa and the surrounding park, which also contains the Pushkin family crypt and a chapel. The grounds offer lovely views of the valleys of the Vilnius and Kaukysa rivers.
