Norviliškės Castle

Norviliškės, is a small village in the so-called Dieveniškės appendix, Šalčininkai district municipality, Lithuania. It is located about 12 km northeast from Dieveniškės almost on the border with Belarus. In 1986 it had 58 residents , and 24 residents in 2001.

The Norviliškės Manor is first mentioned in 1586. In 1617 the owners devised part of the real estate land to Franciscans. Around 1745 they built a monastery and a church in Renaissance style. The monastery was reconstructed at the end of the 18th century by Kazimieras Kaminskis.

For a long time the former manor stood abandoned. In 2005, reconstruction was started by an enterprenour Giedrius Klimkevičius from Vilnius. After reconstruction it offers hosting for business conferences or weddings, hunting, shooting practices, and other activities, also a great music festival is going to be held here.

August 2007 a big music festival Be2gether is scheduled here.
