Baroque, nobles, Napoleon, military cadets – offer just a flavour of the the Sapieha Palace’s extraordinary history. Shrouded in legend, devastated during numerous wars, defended in protests, the palace has survived to tell remarkable tales. The palace decor, the association with famous architects, painters and an influential family in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, serve as proof of one of the most important periods in the life of the building. During this walk around the palace, we invite you to learn about the events in the history of Vilnius and Lithuania that touched the palace from the 16th century to the present day.
