Exposition
Museum exposition “Secrets of the Tuskulėnai Manor”
The Memorial Complex of Tuskulėnai Peace Park established in 2002 in
the area of the Tuskulėnai Manor reminds us of the tragic events of
the 20th century’s history of Lithuania.
Since the 16th century, the area of the manor was known as a land of
the Royal Manor. The manor house built in 1825 survived to the
present day. The gorgeous architectural ensemble of classicism on the
bank of the Neris until 19th century was famous for being one of the
cultural hotspots of Vilnius, while during the Soviet occupation the
area of the nationalized manor became a place where crimes of
repressive structures were hidden. During the period of 1944-1947,
fighters of anti-Soviet armed resistance, their commanders and clergy
killed in the NKGB-MGB prison and Vilnius districts as well as
participants in the June Uprising, fighters of the Armia Krajowa
(Poland) and other people who were in bad with the Soviet
totalitarian regime secretly were buried here.
After the restoration of Lithuania’s independence, 724 human remains
were found in the area of the Tuskulėnai Manor; now, they rest in the
chapel-columbarium of the memorial complex.
In the cellar of the former White Manor, the
museum exposition
“Secrets of the Tuskulėnai Manor” was opened. It presents the history
of the Tuskulėnai Manor from the 16th to 21st century, reveals the
process of death penalty decision-making and execution developed by
the Soviet totalitarian regime, presents information on the people
killed in the MKGB-MGB prison in Vilnius during the period of
1944-1947, on direct organizers and executioners of these actions.
“Tuskulėnai from the 16th to 21st century”
Archaeological findings and iconographic material illustrate the
history of the Tuskulėnai Manor. The museum presents the restored
pottery kiln from the 17th century.
“Tuskulėnai Mass Grave”
The museum exhibits documents revealing the process of judicial
condemnation of death by the Soviet totalitarian regime, efforts to
hide burial places of those killed. Findings discovered during
archaeological research and items donated by the relatives of the
killed are also exhibited.
“Bishop Vincentas Borisevičius”
The exposition reveals the spiritual strength of the Bishop Vincentas
Borisevičius in the face of the brutal Soviet totalitarian regime and
includes archival documents of the Bishop’s criminal case, liturgical
wear, personal belongings, and photographs.

“good service”.
