Jašiūnų dvaras - kultūros židinys

LTKnygoje pristatoma intelektinė Jašiūnų dvaro istorija, prasidėjusi 1819 m., kai šį dvarą paveldėjo Vilniaus universiteto auklėtinis, rašytojas, istorikas ir bibliofilas Mykolas Balinskis. Čia gimė eilėraščiai, proza, publicistika. Čia M. Balinskis rašė ir didžiąją dvitomę Vilniaus miesto monografiją bei padėjo paskutinį tašką svarbiausiame savo veikale, skirtame senajai Vilniaus universiteto istorijai. Čia kaupė ir tvarkė medžiagą garsiausiai ir populiariausiai savo knygai Pamiętniki o królowej Barbarze, żonie Zygmunta Augusta (Atsiminimai apie karalienę Barborą, Žygimanto Augusto žmoną). Čia parašytos ir pirmosios mokslo recenzijos. Dvare rinkdavosi tuometinis literatūrinis elitas: poetai, prozininkai, mokslo darbų autoriai; būta ir didžiulės bibliotekos – maža jos dalis, kuri saugoma Vilniaus universitete, aptariama šiame leidinyje. Knygoje išsamiai pristatomi Jašiūnų dvarininkai, jų palikuonys, taip pat dvaro kapinaitės, parkas. Aprašomi 1828 m., pastatyti dvaro rūmai, atlaikę 1830-1831 m. sukilimus, Antrąjį pasaulinį karą, valdžių kaitą, privatizavimą, jo anuliavimą, ne vieną restauravimo darbų pradžią ir čia pat jų pabaigą, kol galų gale 2015-ųjų m. rudenį atvėrė duris paveldo mylėtojams. Leidinys gausiai iliustruotas Lietuvos archyvuose, muziejuose, bibliotekose saugomais paveikslais, fotografijomis, dokumentais, taip pat asmeninių archyvų nuotraukomis.Reikšminiai žodžiai: Jašiūnų dvaras; Balinskis Mykolas; Sniadeckytė Sofija; Istorija; Architektūra; Paveldas; Jaszuny manor; Balinskis Mykolas; Sniadeckytė Sofija; History; Architecture; Heritege.

ENJašiūnai - a cozy town just thirty kilometres far from Vilnius - was first mentioned in 1402 in the crusaders' description of the military roads to Lithuania. Since the 15th century until the end of the 18th century Jašiūnai estate belonged to dukes Radvilas, the wealthiest noble family of the time period, who owned 23 castles, 426 bigger and smaller towns, 2032 manors and more than 10 000 villages. Unfortunately, there is limited information on the buildings and the surroundings of the Radvilas' Jašiūnai estate. Maybe it will be provided by the archaeological research which took place in the estate in 2013, since during the excavations a brick foundation of some former (probably wooden) building was found. Pending the examination of all the archaeological discoveries of the estate, six authors of the book provide you with the intellectual history of Jašiūnai manor, the beginning of which dates back to 1819 when the graduate of Vilnius University, writer, historian and bibliophile Mykolas Balinskis inherited the Jašiūnai estate. A year later, the cultural spirit of the place was strengthened after the marriage of the new owner with the most intelligent woman in Lithuania of the period - Sofija Sniadeckyte. Not only seven children of Baliński family were born in Jašiūnai, but also poems, literary prose and journalism. It was there where M. Balinskis wrote the two tomes of the huge monograph about Vilnius and finished the most important work of his life about the history of Vilnius University.It was there that he collected and organized material for his most famous book Pamiętniki o królowej Barbarze, żonie Zygmunta Augusta („Memories about queen Barbara, wife of Sigismund II Augustus“). The first scientific review was also written there. Jašiūnai, more than any other manor in Lithuania, was filled with the spirit of Vilnius University. Moreover, creative and literary communication was always above the everyday problems in Jašiūnai, which made the place exclusive and attracted literary elite of the epoch, mainly poets, prose and science writers. There was also a rich library in the manor, tiny part of which is kept in Vilnius University and is presented in this book. This book contains the first detailed descriptions in Lithuanian language of Jašiūnai landlords and their ancestors, estate cemetery and the park. The manor, built in 1828, withstood November Uprising (1830-1831), January Uprising (1863-1864), World War II, changes in the government, privatization and its abolishment, several beginnings of the renovation and its final accomplishment after 18 years of difficult and full of obstacles way till the autumn 2015 when Jašiūnai estate regains its former splendour and opens its doors to heritage lovers.
