Clay Sunflower Country Estate in Lithuania!

Last fall, I visited a really cool place in Lithuania, which I’ll tell you about. The owners of the “Clay Sunflower” are simply amazing; visit them and see for yourself. I discovered this place by chance when I first visited the Lithuanian town of Radviliškis. So, first things first!

Where is the Clay Sunflower estate located and what address should I enter into my GPS?

The Clay Sunflower Country Estate is located in Radviliškis District. It’s best to use the exact address for your GPS: Valdeikiai Village 10, Pakalniškis Eldership, Radviliškis District. Before your trip, it’s a good idea to save the address in your GPS and run the route to the exit, as it’s easy to miss the turnoff on rural roads.

When to go for sunflowers and why the season is more important than the calendar date

The main reason to plan your trip in advance is the limited sunflower season. The rural tourism catalog states that the field is in bloom from August 1 to September 30. During this period, it is open 24 hours a day, with no fixed schedule. This allows you to choose your visit based on weather and light conditions. It’s also important to consider the estate’s general opening season. Guests are admitted in May and September, meaning that some activities on the property may only be available during these months, rather than year-round.

What exactly to look for in a field and how to assess the scale of the place

The sunflower field covers about 30 acres. It’s a full-fledged plot, not a narrow strip by the road. Walking through it takes time, especially if you want to go deeper rather than just stop at the edge. This is also important to consider when photographing: to find the right angle, you may need to move around the field rather than stand in one spot. Besides the field itself, there’s plenty to see and do here.

What’s on the property besides the field, and who might be interested?

The estate offers tourists more than just a stroll through the fields. It also offers additional activities that can be useful for different groups of visitors. If you’re traveling with children, it’s worth stopping by the small ceramic jug museum and browsing through handmade souvenirs. This adds a richer and more fulfilling experience to your visit.

If you’re driving through the region, the field is a convenient spot for a short stop to take photos, stroll around, and rest. If you’re on the pilgrimage route, the possibility of staying overnight is important.

The estate has a rest stop for Camino Lituano participants and also offers accommodation. This makes it easy to find an overnight stay along any section of the route. Incidentally, overnight stays start at €20 per person per night! What the inside of the farmhouse looks like:

Entry fees and photography rules that are best known in advance

A visit to the estate requires a fee of €2 per person. If you’re planning a group trip, it’s best to budget this amount for each participant to avoid delays in paying on site. A separate rule applies to photography. The estate’s publications note that an additional €10 fee applies when visiting with your own photographer. If you’re planning a professional photo shoot, consider this fee in advance when calculating your budget.

How to get there: why the landmark is connected to a nearby attraction

To reach the estate, first take the Šiauliai-Panevėžys highway, then turn off toward Burbiškės Manor Park. Then take the side road toward Burbiškės Manor Park. About 500 meters from the turnoff, you’ll see a sunflower field on the left side of the main road. This route is convenient because it follows a clearly visible landmark, helping you avoid mistakes when finding the right turn. The estate also hosts concerts and other events on its stage:

Conclusion

The Clay Sunflower farmstead is built around a sunflower field of approximately 30 acres. It’s best to plan a trip here during the blooming season, which lasts from August 1st to September 30th. During this period, the field is open 24 hours a day. Additional activities are also available on the grounds. Find other nearby attractions on the Radviliškis tourism website.

You can visit the ceramic jug museum, buy handmade souvenirs, or stay overnight. This combination is suitable for a variety of occasions. The field can be a short stopover, part of a family trip, or a component of a regional itinerary. The Clay Sunflower farmstead is a great place to relax and spend the night for the whole family. I highly recommend speaking with the hosts, who can be reached through their Facebook page!
