Chodkiewicz Palace
The Chodkiewicz Family Palace is one of the largest and most beautiful residences not only in Vilnius but also in Lithuania. The buildings of the palace arranged along the perimeter of the block encircle an irregularly shaped courtyard. Having bought the residence in the 16th century and rebuilt it in the 18th century and early 19th century in the style of late Classicism, the Chodkiewicz Family owned the palace for about 300 years. The Medical Academy was established here in 1834. Later, the palace was given over to educational institutions of Vilnius, in 1924 it was handed over to Vilnius University and in 1994 it was given to the Lithuanian Art Museum. During the reconstruction of the palace, its late Classicism-Empire style interior was restored. The Vilnius Picture Gallery was established in the palace (with an exposition of Lithuania art of the 16th-19th century), and various exhibitions, concerts and cultural nights are being held in its premises.
