Nature curiosity

The oldest lime tree in the city of Vilnius grows in Sapiegiu Park. An information stand has been built here, which is set up for the purchase of visitor tickets. The tree of Sapiegii Park is a witness of the times when the nobles were creating the park itself, one of the most prominent examples of a regular geometric park in Lithuania. in 2023 In the summer, the storm and the rain broke the oldest tree in Vilnius. The tree was planted near the magnificent entrance gate at the current Antakalnis street. The palace in Antakalni was built by Kazimieras Jonas Sapiega. The double-stemmed linden was included in the list of natural heritage objects of the municipality, it reached 28 meters. Trunk volume - 4.4 m. According to experts, the tree should continue to grow.

The palace was built at the end of the 17th century according to the design of Giovanni Battista Frediani by Kazimieras Jonas Sapiega, the great hetman of Lithuania. It was built according to the latest baroque trends, in order to compete with the king, because he himself could have plans to become the ruler of Lithuania-Poland, and the palace had to show his status. The Sapiegom Palace served as a country residence, built by the master, like other European leaders of the time, in comparison to the Palace of Versailles, a residence cultivated by the French king Louis XIV near Paris. The palace belonged to the real owners for about three decades, then it passed into the hands of the tsarist Russian army, and since then its beauty began to fade, which was not restored during the interwar, Soviet era and already independent Lithuania changes of owners and purpose. In addition to the Sapiegi Palace, the state-protected complex also includes the Trinitarian monastery and a former hospital. in 2023 in autumn, the facade of the palace regained its original appearance - an ornate baroque decor was revealed, which was once not inferior to the palaces of European kings. The southern and western facades of the building, which is included in the register of state-protected immovable cultural values, are visible from the park and L. Sapiega streets. In order to restore the unique splendor of the palace's facade, special architectural, chemical and other studies were carried out, and restorers were used to manage the preserved baroque decor and moldings. Exhibition and event halls, terraces, and a cafe will be located in the renovated spaces of the Sapiegi Palace.
