Project to restore the Vilnius Castle
This is just a model of how it once looked like. There are no immediate plans to fully restore the upper castle, or the entire lower one (Except for the Royal palace which is being rebuilt as we speak)
However, there are plans to fully restore Memelburg in Klaipeda,
as well as plans to renovate the magnificent baroque Sapieha palace and it's baroque park in Vilnius
The park gates were already restored early this year
Biržų castle should be fully restored as well. At the moment, the arsenal is being rebuilt.
And then there's the beautiful Užutrakis Manor.
It is located on the north-eastern shore/peninsula of lake Galve - a kilometre away from Trakai island castle and is part of the Trakai Historic National park.
It has a lovely, 19th century, 80ha park, designed by
Edouard Andre
The park was closed for visitors for most part this year - ponds and lakes were being re-dug (park had 20 of them).
Sculptures were restored a year or so ago.
Interior gets some attention as well. The dining hall - before and after.
All in all, it should look stunning when finished. The meetings of heads of states of EU are planned to be held here in 2013, when Lithuania will hold the presidency of EU.
