Trakų Vokė is a historically significant settlement on the outskirts of Vilnius, primarily renowned for its magnificent manor house and aristocratic heritage. During the 19th century, the estate served as the family residence of the Counts Tiškevičius, one of Lithuania's most influential noble families. The manor was constructed between 1876 and 1880 in the Neoclassical style, modeled after the Łazienki Palace in Warsaw. A standout feature is the expansive park designed by the famous French landscape architect Édouard André, which creates a harmonious blend of natural beauty and formal architecture. Geographically, the settlement is situated along the Vokė River, which gave the place its name and once powered local industrial mills. For much of the 20th century, the site functioned as an agricultural research center, which helped preserve its manicured green spaces and historic avenues. Today, Trakų Vokė is a cherished cultural monument and a popular venue for weddings and high-profile cultural events near the capital.
