The new managers of Burbiškis Manor, former famous model Orinta Eivatė-Hoang and her husband Kim Hoang say that from its very beginnings, the manor was a place, which would host not only the Lithuanian elite, but also competent foreign guests, who would bring to the manor knowledge of distant cultures and the secrets of the international kitchen.

It was touching and spiritual, I greatly value the hosts’ hospitality,” cultural patron and wife to the Japanese ambassador Yuko said.
According to the managers of Burbiškis Manor, this year, events at the manor will present to guests even more musical surprises and never before seen, unique art projects.
The rise of manors
It is no secret that in Lithuania, manor houses had deteriorated. However, after the restoration of independence, a significant number of them were revived for “a new life.” Now, manors once again delight the country’s residents and guests from abroad. Every manor is fascinating with its history, unique face and new owners, who strive to accommodate guests, cater to their needs and create pleasant and unforgettable memories. After the festive New Year’s celebrations, manors now prepare for an influx of guests in 2020.
