Liubavas Manor
History
Since the beginning of 15th century until the middle of 16th century Liubavas was ruled by noblemen Goštautas of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. In 16th century the estate was transferred to the family of the Grand Duke of Lithuania. In 1546 the treasury book of the Grand Duke Sigismund Augustus of Lithuania describes in detail the Liubavas ponds that were being repaired at that time. Later Liubavas was ruled by Mikołaj "the Red" Radziwiłł, Golejevskiai, Krišpinai Kiršenšteinai, Tiškevičiai and Slizieniai. Liubavas Manor was home to the famous Lithuanian sculptor in 19th century Rafał Slizień (1804-1881). He was buried with his wife in the underground chapel-mausoleum in Liubavas. In 16th–17th centuries the territories of the manor reached the lakes Siesartis and Kirneilis near Moletai.
