Palėvenė Dominican Monastery Ensemble
Vienuolyno g. 6, Palėvenė, Kupiškis district
All three buildings of the monastery were built from the end of the 17th century – till the end of the 18th century. In 1789, a spacious barn with cellars was built. Next to the monastery there was a tavern, a hospital, and 2 almshouses. Only brick buildings have survived to this day: a stable with a carriage house, a barn, a morgue, a monks' dwelling house, and a fence with an entrance gate. Currently, a hall has been restored in the monastery barn, where you can learn more about the history of this architectural ensemble. And in the cellars of the barn, you can taste the monks' meals by pre-ordering the educational program "Monks' Lifestyle and Cuisine".
We offer fish stew, prepared according to the recipe of culinary heritage researcher Professor Rimvydas Laužikas. Price 11.00 EUR per person
