A walking alley (\u201cKunigaik\u0161\u010diai al\u0117ja\u201d (Dukes\u2019 alley)<\/em>) was built from the stairs on the western shore of Lake Galv\u0117, which continued all the way to the beginning of the central alley, at the ferryman\u2019s house. It is assumed that the alley once included a number of sculptural elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 1910, the Ti\u0161kevi\u010diai family brought back a sculpture of the Mother of God with a baby<\/strong> from a trip to Italy for the park at U\u017eutrakis. The sculpture was placed in the park on a high pedestal, facing the direction where the waters of Galv\u0117 and Skaistis lakes meet. This location was the closest way from the U\u017eutrakis peninsula to the mainland by ferry, which was maintained by the ferryman Piotras Sobolevskis who was loved by children and adults because he was faithful, always kind, honest and punctual like clockwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mother of God greeted everyone coming and going, comforted the servants and Countess Ti\u0161kevi\u010dien\u0117 in the hours of sadness. This sculpture remained at U\u017eutrakis Park until around 1964. Later, the sculpture was removed from the pedestal and transferred to the bars of the park, and at some point, it was thrown into Lake Galv\u0117. Around 1975, the damaged sculpture of the Mother of God with the baby was found in the cemetery of the village of Varnikai by the architect S. Mikulionis and brought to the Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Trakai. When the sculpture entered the church, the Mother of God was missing her right hand, the cloak covering her head, and the baby. Monsignor V. R\u016bkas took care that the sculpture of the U\u017eutrakis Madonna in the Riomeriai chapel of the Trakai Church was preserved until now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2007, sculptors Nerijus and R\u016bta Kavaliauskai created a replica of the sculpture from cast marble, working from old photographs and a fragment of the original. Ancient rose bushes were planted next to the sculpture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
