Chodkevičiai Palace
Chodkevičiai Palace is a building in Old Town of Vilnius on Didžioji St. Currently it is owned by the Lithuanian Art Museum.
History
Masonry buildings in the palace site date back to the 16th century. The current palace appearance is from the 19th century (1825-1834), most likely a project of the architect Tomas Tišeckis.
At least eight generations of the Chodkevičiai family lived in the palace, until it was sold in 1811. Since 1994 it has been owned by the Lithuanian Art Museum and houses a picture gallery, administrative offices, the library, archive and art storage.
