Alantės Manor / Alančių Dvaras

Plotted within a traditional rural landscape, the manor reflects centuries of noble life, agriculture, and architectural development in Lithuania.
Alančių dvaras (Alančiai Manor) is a historic Lithuanian manor estate which origins could be traced up to the 16th Century.
Once a prosperous estate with a landscaped park and extensive lands, the Manor’s fate declined after Soviet nationalization in 1940.
Today, it awaits as a protected cultural heritage site, valued for its memories of its legacy of prosperity and samaritanism in times of hardship.

Povir Fortress / Povirski Tabor

The Tabor Povir was a late-medieval communal refuge tower built at the end of the 15th century on the hill above the village of Povir.
Erected during the period of Ottoman incursions, it formed part of a regional network of tabori designed to shelter rural populations and enable signaling across the Karst landscape.
Never intended as a noble residence, the tower functioned as a temporary defensive post and gathering point. Abandoned after the frontier shifted and later destroyed during the Second World War, the site today survives through archaeological traces, documented research, and the enduring place-name that preserves its historical role
