It is very complex to get inside of this house. [link]

Yesterday I could make it. The input in the house Is driven in by boards.

The Užutrakis ensemble was formed by Józef Tyszkiewicz and his wife Jadwiga Swiętopułk-Czetwertyńska and it was put into effect at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries by the Polish architect Józef Huss (1846-1904) and the French landscape gardener Edouard Fran?ois André (1840-1911). Huss designed a neo-renaissance palace and terrace which were built in 1896-1901 and became the compositional centre of the park. The two-storey Main House is a compact rectangle in modest neo-classical style and it has hardly been rebuilt to this day. The solidity of the building is stressed by the high intermediate lower floor and the corners that are stern up to the cornice. The composition of the western fa?ade that faces Lake Galvė is dominated by a deep-set Ionic portico placed within the side wings. The eastern fa?ade is crowned by a triangular pediment above which there is an Attic relief depicting vases and cartouches with the arms of the Tyszkiewiczes (Leliava, or lily) and Swiętopułk-Czetwertyńskis (the Russian Mounted knight). The facades are composed symmetrically and split by palettes, the end of the wings are given pediments with clear modillions and the windows are framed by straight piping.

On the ground floor there are seven symmetrical halls with large oblong windows and in the very middle of the building is a hall with a sky-lit staircase. Modest living rooms used to be on the first floor and had square windows.

The floor-slope roof is crowned by a ventilation shaft adorned with decorative features with a pointed end on which the count’s coat of arms used to hang. The house interior was decorated in Louis XVI style.

The ballustraded terrace is an integral part of the western fa?ade. It is set out on the supporting wall of stone and the corners are made of red brick which gives a military air to the building. The panorama view of Lake Galvė and Trakai Island Castle opens up from this terrace.

Užutrakis Manor was supported by a strong estate of 800 ha with commercial manor farms and villages. The park itself was not small – it covered 80.43 ha. The working part of the manor had 19 brick and wooden outhouses: dwelling houses for then gardener and ferryman, a mares’ stable, smithy, stable, cow byres and so forth. The manor estate still contains the remains of the small Uniate church.
