The Vilkėnas Manor palace was built by Count Aleksandras Plater, with the creation of its picturesque park initiated by his wife. Construction took place between 1880 and 1897, and the palace is distinguished by its Neo-Renaissance style: a two-story symmetrical building with a tower, a portico supported by four columns, and a graceful pediment adorned with the Plater family coat of arms. The manor park, designed on hilly terrain, belongs to the mixed composition style of parks. In 1993, the palace and park were returned to Laimė Felicija Plater, a descendant of the Plater family, and the palace’s exterior was restored in 2007. Today, Vilkėnas Manor is one of the most beautiful tourist attractions in the Švėkšna region.

Vilkėnas Manor Palace is a unique monument of Neo-Renaissance architecture, built at the initiative of Count Aleksandras Plater in the late 19th century (1880–1897). The creation of the palace ensemble was accompanied by the development of a scenic park, a vision brought to life with the support of the count’s wife. This park, designed on hilly terrain, is classified as a mixed composition park and complements the manor building harmoniously. The two-story palace is characterized by its symmetrical Neo-Renaissance style and elegant tower. The main façade features a portico with four masonry columns, while the rear side
includes a balcony. To enhance the gracefulness of the palace, the architect designed carved pediments above the projections, incorporating the Plater family coat of arms into the design. In 1993, Vilkėnas Manor and its park were returned to Count Plater’s descendant, Laimė Felicija Plater. After restoration in 2007, the palace's exterior regained its historical beauty. Today, Vilkėnas Manor is a significant cultural heritage site and a popular tourist destination in the Švėkšna region. Visitors can admire its impressive Neo-Renaissance architecture, historic park, and the enduring legacy of the Plater family.
