Palace in Vilnius, Lithuania
Chodkevičiai Palace

The Chodkiewicz Palace (or, in Lithuanian transliteration, Chodkevičiai Palace) is a building in Old Town of Vilnius at 4 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 (Tomasz Tyszecki).

At least eight generations of the Chodkiewicz 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.
