Abramavičiai Palace is a building in Vilnius Old Town, Rotušė square. Currently it is owned by Vilnius Juozas Tallat-Kelpša conservatory.
History
[edit]In 1697, there was a masonry building, owned by merchant Kristapas Staškevičius. After conflagration in 1748, the house was rebuilt by Starodub elder Andrzej Abramowicz.
Essential reconstruction was made in 1780 with Marcin Knackfus project. Construction of the palace was started by the widow of Jerzy Abramowicz, Andrzej's brother, Marcjanna (née Dernalowicz).[1] In 1844 the palace became the property of the Orthodox consistory clergy. In 1853-1860 it was rebuilt under the direction of Tomasz Tyszecki and connected with St. Casimir's Church, then an Orthodox church.[1] In the interwar period, the building belonged to the Jesuit Order.[1] After World War II it was Juozas Tallat-Kelpša High School of Music, which later was transformed into conservatory.
