Entdecken Sie die Geheimnisse von Švėkšna Manor Park and cyanotype workshop!

Discover Švėkšna Manor Park! The park is located in the picturesque and historically rich town of Švėkšna in Western Lithuania, Šilutė Bezirk. The park covers an area of 9 ha, where you will find avenues of old linden trees, Villa "Genowefa" and small-scale architecture sculptures. On June 2-4, we invite you to an educational walk and cyanotype workshop in Švėkšna Manor Park. During the walk, we will get acquainted with the history of the estate, residents, plants and architecture. During the walk, we will collect plants from the park, which we will use in the cyanotype workshop. Cyanotype is one of the oldest photographic processes. In 19th century British scientist and botanist Anna Atkins was the first to use cyanotype photograms to illustrate books. At the cyanotype workshop in Švėkšna, you will get to know and try out the cyanotype process in practice and create unique plant and sun stamps from the plants growing in the manor park.
