The Church of St. Blaise (Croatian: Crkva sv. Blaža) is a Baroque church in Dubrovnik and one of the city's major sights. Saint Blaise (St. Vlaho), identified by medieval Slavs with the pagan god Veles, is the patron saint of the city of Dubrovnik and formerly the protector of the independent Republic of Ragusa. The church was built in 1715 by the Venetian architect and sculptor Marino Gropelli (1662-1728) on the foundations of the badly damaged Romanesque medieval church. He modeled the church on Sansovino's Venetian church of San Maurizio. The church consists of a single square nave with a ground plan in the form of an inscribed Greek cross, an apse flanked by two sacristies and an oblong cupola in the center. A flight of stairs leads to the portal, decorated with statues of angels. The facade is divided by four Corinthian columns. On top of the facade is a semicircular gable and a balustrade with three statues by Marino Gropelli: a free standing Saint Blaise (in the middle) and personifications of Faith and Hope. The barrel-vaulted interior is richly decorated in Baroque style. The Corinthian columns in the center bear the tambour of the cupola and lantern. The corners of the nave show blind cupolas. The main altar, in a combination of white and polychrome marble, shows in a high niche a precious, gilt silver Gothic statue of Saint Blaise, crafted in the 15th century by an unknown local master. The saint shows in his left hand a scale model of the Romanesque church which was destroyed by the earthquake in 1667. He is flanked by two kneeling angels. This statue was the only one to survive the fire of 1706. The domed antependium is decorated with two angels who unveil a curtain in front of a medallion.

Rokiškis Manor (Lithuanian: Rokiškio dvaras) is a former residential manor in Rokiškis. From 1952, used by Rokiškis Region Museum. Rokiškis manor was first mentioned in 1499. The estate belonged to the duchess Elena, Vilnius voivode Mikołaj Radziwiłł. In the beginning of 16th century it went to Timofej Kroszinski and his descendants, the last of whom was Juzef Kroszinski who died in 1715. From 1715 the estate belonged to Tyzenhaus family. Since the beginning of 19th century the manor became permanent residence of count Ignacy Tyzenhaus. During his lifetime new classicist palace was built in 1801 with two officines from both sides. After Tyzenhaus, the estate became the residence of Przeździecki family. In 1905 Jan Przeździecki had started the renovation of the manor pursuant to the project of Karolis Jankovskis and Pranciškus Lilpopas. The palace became more spacious and higher. Yet, its classicist style became eclectic with features of Neo-Baroque, Neo-Gothic and Neo-Renaissance. In 1940 after the Soviet Union occupied Lithuania, the estate was nationalized. After the World War II, the manor housed Rokiškis Sovkhoz, later on cultural institutions. Restoration works took place in Rokiskis Manor at the end of the 20th century. In 2011 Rokiškis manor became a winner in the Tourism and Regeneration of Physical Sites category by EU's project EDEN.

It was destroyed in 1896, and the current pavilion was newly built in 1926 with funds raised by the Yi family.
