Sapiegos Park
About

Sapiegos Park in Vilnius is a historic green space in the Antakalnis district, blending baroque heritage with contemporary community life. Once part of the grand Sapieha Palace ensemble built in the late 17th century by Grand Hetman Kazimierz Jan Sapieha, the park retains elements of its original layout, including tree-lined avenues, restored baroque gates, and a 300-year-old linden tree designated a natural monument. The northern section is shaded by mature linden, maple, and ash trees, while the southern area opens into sunlit meadows with playgrounds and gathering spaces. At the park’s centre stands a former wooden hospital, now home to Vilnius Tech Park—a hub for startups and creative industries. Sculptures by contemporary artist Donatas Jankauskas–Duonis add a whimsical touch, while the “Miesto Laboratorija” café and eco-centre host cultural events and sustainability workshops. Adjacent to the park are the restored Sapieha Palace and the Church of the Lord Jesus, completing a unique blend of history, innovation, and urban greenery.
