In the 18th Century, the town of Lentvaris, was within the territory of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. It was populated by Poles, Lithuanians and Jews and belonged to the estate of the Polish-Lithuanian House of Sapieha. In the 17th c. the owner of the manor was Tomasz Sapieha.

In 1850 the estate was bought from Izdebski by Count Józef Tyszkiewicz (1835-1891). In 1885 he had a Tudor-style palace built on the northern shore of Lake Lentvaris, [4] which was widened during 1850-1873; a causeway connected the estate, which was surrounded on three sides by water, with the town.
The manor house was built in two stages. In 1865-1866 it was led by Gustav Shachn. The manor house was a two or three-storey building with a wide entrance porch façade, a tall tower on the southwest side, and on the other side had a lower, two-storey wing. It faced the lake. It was in Józef Tyszkiewicz’s time that almost all the farm buildings were built as well.
Józef also planted a large park next to it, designed by the well-known French landscape architect Édouard André: local and foreign trees (larch, gray walnut, silver and Swedler maples, etc.) predominated. [5]
In 1891 Władysław Tyszkiewicz (1865-1936), who inherited the manor, reconstructed the palace, later it acquired the current appearance of English Gothic. [6]
