Antakalnis Palace Antakalnio rūmai |
Antakalnis | No | Constructed between 1777 and 1781 as a vacation residence for the Aucurian royal family in the town of Antakalnis, near Kalnaspilis. The royal family fled to the palace briefly after the seizure of Kalnaspilis by republican rebels during the Aucurian Revolution. Much of the palace burnt down in 1803, but it was renovated by President Frīdrikas Brazauskas in 1808 with the intent of turning it into a vacation residence for the Aucurian president. The building served this role until 1954, when Maksymas Užugiris turned the palace and its grounds into a public park. | |
Kalnaspilis Castle Kalnaspilio pilis |
Kalnaspilis | No | Also known as the Upper Castle to distinguish it from the Royal Palace of Aucuria, or Lower Castle, as both are part of the Kalnaspilis Castle Complex. Evidence of wooden fortifications on site- believed to be the origin of the city's name- can be found dating as far back as the 9th century, but the current stone structure was constructed in 1323. The castle was reconstructed between 1419 and 1422 after a major fire. The castle ceased to function as a royal residence after the completion of the Lower Castle in 1471 but was used as a fortress until 1768, when it was badly damaged during the Aucurian Winter War and subsequently abandoned. Only the western tower, known as Vytautas's Tower due to a local legend, remains intact. | |
Presidential Palace Prezidento rūmai |
Kalnaspilis | Yes | First known structure on the site, known as the Archbishop's Palace and intended to house the Archbishop of the Aucurian Church of Christ, was constructed in 1398. The site was extensively renovated and expanded in 1612, and was reconstructed following severe fires in 1737 and 1744. The royal family moved into the palace in 1750; it continued to be used by the Aucurian monarchy until the Sons of the Aucurian Nation seized Kalnaspilis in 1791 amidst the Aucurian Revolution. Afterwards, it was turned into the official residence of the President of Aucuria. The palace was reconstructed between 1824 and 1834 in the Empire style, and renovated in 1930. | |
Royal Palace of Aucuria Aukurijos valdovų rūmų |
Kalnaspilis | No | Also known as the Lower Castle to distinguish it from Kalnaspils Castle, as both are part of the Kalnaspilis Castle Complex. Construction on the Lower Castle began in 1464 and ended in 1471. Served as the residence of the Aucurian monarch from 1471 to 1750, when it was abandoned in favor of the Archbishop's Palace. The structure burnt down in 1801, but was reconstructed in 1925 to celebrate the 900th anniversary of the coronation of Viltautas the Great. | |
Ežekai Island Castle Ežekų salos pilis |
Ežekai | No | Constructed in the middle of Lake Ausveja in the 14th century by Feliksas I the Noble to serve as a vacation residence for the Aucurian monarch.

The castle was partially reconstructed in 1905 and in 1913, but full-scale reconstruction did not begin until 1935, continuing until 1941. The castle now serves as a museum and tourist attraction. |
