From the text under the painting in the virtual exhibition:

"Palace of Leontius Bennigsen in Zakret (today, Vingio Park)

The three-storey Jesuit Palace built after the design by architect Johann Christoph Glaubitz was acquired by the governor general of Vilnius Leontius Bennigsen in 1801. During a ball that took place in the palace on 24 June 1812, the Russian emperor Alexander I received the news about the invasion of the French army. In 1812 the palace housed the French military hospital, which burned down during the war. Later the tsarist administration failed to renovate the palace. It slowly deteriorated and was pulled down in 1855."
