Vilnius lower castle palace that was destroyed approximately 200 years ago, was restored on top of the remains discovered in 1987-2001. That is a part of the Vilnius castle complex - the Palace of the Grand Dukes that stood between the Cathedral and the Castle Hill. Palace consists of four buildings with enclosed courtyard.
Dr. Joseph Kazickas was among the main initiators, supporters and most generous donors to rebuild the Palace of the Grand Dukes in 2000. From 2000 until 2008, the Kazickas Family Foundation donated almost $1 mln for the cause.
