This 1904 photograph shows the palace from a winding path along the lake, in the part of the park known as the "Riviera." The young, freshly planted rows of trees along the path show that this section had only recently been created at the time. Published in: Labeckis, D. Lentvario dvaro rūmų, bokšto ir parko parterinės dalies istorinės ir ikonografinės medžiagos apžvalga.
The "Riviera" was more than just an evocative name: around 1900, Count Vladislovas Tiškevičius and his wife Marija Kristina established a genuine resort-style entertainment complex beside the summer orangery — a "Café Riviera" with dancing, concerts, water entertainment, and theatrical performances. The name was meant to create the illusion that guests had arrived at a Mediterranean coastal resort. The venue was advertised through postcards (distributed by publishers in St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Vilnius), colour chromolithograph posters, and the periodical press — Vladislovas even secured an exclusive contract with the "Kontragentstvo pechati" company to sell postcards at Russian railway stations, reaching potential guests from far away.
The animation restores this photograph as though it had been taken today with a professional camera — letting you see the path through the "Riviera" as it looked more than a century ago.
