Babtynas Žemaitkiemis manor was established in the 16th century by the Šiukšta family. From 1697, the manor was governed by the Prozor family for a century; Babtynas became a representative manor. It was majestic palace, with a two-storied pediment, balconies on the first floor, 28 rooms and a defence tour. Currently the manor is trying to revive its musical traditions: various concerts take place here; since 2003, the manor has been serving as a venue for the concerts of Pažaislis Music Festival, open-air workshops and artist meetings.
