ENRokiškis Manor was first mentioned in historical records on 21 September 1499, in a wood-cutting privilege in the area of the border between the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Livonia granted by the Grand Duke of Lithuania, Alexander Jagiellon, to Jurgis Astikas. The privilege contains a reference to Rokiškis Manor, a possession of the grand duke. The 1634 inventory of Rokiškis Manor gives a detailed description of Rokiškis Manor with all its appurtenances. Another extant inventory book of Rokiškis Manor dates from 1744. At the turn of the nineteenth century, the manor at Rokiškis was relocated to a new site at the initiative of Count Ignatius Tiesenhausen. The buildings of the old manor were either demolished or put to new uses for farming. The exact location of the previous manor has not been identified, and the site remains a matter of conjecture based on the above-mentioned written records. Archaeological research into the old Rokiškis manor was launched in 2012, initiated by the Rokiškis Regional Museum and a local group that later founded the Tiesenhausen Family Heritage non-governmental organisation. The investigations were supervised by the archaeologist Roma Songailaitė. The investigations were conducted on a voluntary basis, involving local enthusiasts, community activists, schoolchildren, museum workers, and others. The research continued until 2017 (including a year-long break in 2013). The main aim of the research was to determine the location of the old Rokiškis manor. The research covered an area of over 212 square metres.More than 1,000 artefacts were found, which were given to the Rokiškis Regional Museum. The museum established a permanent exhibition about the 16th to 17th-century manor on the basis of the archaeological finds. In 2017, the Tiesenhausen Family Heritage non-governmental organisation published the book Senoji Rokiškio dvarvietė XVI-XVIII amžiais (The Old Rokiškis Manor in the Sixteenth to Eighteenth Centuries), which includes a catalogue of valuable finds. Before that, the collections of the Rokiškis Regional Museum did not have a single fragment of a stove tile from either the historical part of the town of Rokiškis or the manor. The collection of stove tiles from the old Rokiškis manor comprises different types of stove tiles dating from the 16th and 17th centuries. Certain special sets of tiles can be highlighted in the wide-ranging collection: I) green- glazed tiles with the family crest dated to the second half of the 17th century; II) unglazed themed and rectangular tiles with floral patterns dated to the first half of the 16th century; III) blue-and-white heraldic tiles dated to the 17th century; IV) polychromatic tiles dated to the 16th and 17th centuries; and V) heraldic tiles dated to the 16th and 17th centuries. The archaeological material from the excavations of the site of the Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania has similar items to those in the collection of the Rokiškis Old Manor. A comparison of the exhibits in the collection with archaeological material from other Lithuanian towns allows for the identification of techniques, themes and decorative elements that were characteristic of particular historical periods, and certain fashions, trends and traditions prevalent in the decoration of tile stoves.
