History

The Lančiūnava manor and village have been known since 1587. The manor was the property of the Kognowicki family, who were of Italian descent. At the beginning of the 20th century, a nobleman, Stanisław Kognowicki, rebuilt the palace. The Kognowickis were known for cruel oppression of serfs. During the Soviet era, Lančiūnava developed as a sovkhoz with an agriculture and technology school (opened in 1940).
