Sculpture Dedicated to the Oginski Dynasty

The sculpture by Kęstutis Musteikis, standing on the shore of Lake Vievis, commemorates the Oginski family's nearly 250-year connection with the town. During the Oginski era, Vievis became an important center of culture and education, with a school and a printing house where one of the first grammars of Church Slavonic was printed in 1619.

Seated on a stone bench, the figure symbolizing the Oginski family holds a weather vane featuring the family coat of arms, as if inviting visitors to sit beside it, look out over Lake Vievis, and reflect on the town's history. The sculpture is part of the Oginski Trail, where information boards along the lakeshore introduce visitors to the family's cultural legacy and even offer an opportunity to listen to music composed by members of the Oginski family.
