1691-1694 The Voivode of Polotsk, Dominykas Mykolas Sluška, built a palace, on the facade of which he nailed a marble board with the inscription: "I pushed down the mountains, calmed the whirlwinds of the Neris, like a winner I rose above the tops of the hills, without leaning on them, I became a haven of peace and the first monument of Antakalnis." Upon entering this palace, the guest leaves behind the toga of office and his military insignia - he will be soothed here by the goddess of peace and the companionship of the guardian moon."
During the time of the Russian Empire, a prison for political prisoners (Citadel No. 19) was installed in the palace (14th century BC). and in 1831 participants in the uprisings. As a prison in 1863-1919. the palace was also used by the Polish authorities. The prison operated until World War II. After the end of the war, German prisoners of war were transported from the palace-prison to the construction of the "Žalgiris" stadium.
Since 2002 here is the palace of the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre.
