ENIn 1999 Rokiškis celebrated its 500th anniversary when for the first time in written sources the name of the city and Manor were mentioned in a privilege of Alexander, the Grand Duke of Lithuania, dating back to the 21st September 1499. On this occasion the exhibition “Rokiškis from the oldest times till 1940” was prepared and opened in Rokiškis Regional Museum. Unfortunately, there were no exhibits in the exposition indicating the formation period of the city of Rokiškis before 1499 as well as there were no exhibits about the Krošinskiai family, owing to the fact that there were no traces of life of these noblemen left in Rokiškis. The knowledge about them, who were the first owners of the city, came only from scant written sources. The opportunity to fill this historical vacuum came in 2012. Museologist Valius Kazlauskas and entrepreneur Raimundas Sirgėdas invited an archaeologist, Roma Songailaitė, to have a look at reconstruction site of the Tyzenhaus alley because that was the place where archaeological research was planned. Having made an archaeological trench, the 17th century cultural layer was found. The archaeologist also suggested to explore the former Krošinskiai Castle site.The result of the first excavations exceeded the expectations - besides fragments of ceramics and tiles she found a fragment of a heraldic tile with the coat of arms of the Krošinskiai family - a trident of candles. An even bigger surprise were the finds of ceramics from the 16th century period, which date back further than the Košinskiai heraldic tile. Archaeological excavations have been going on for five years now since the excavations began. During that time the archaeologist was able to find the foundations of the former residence, its basement and an abundance of further archaeological finds. Museum workers, preparing for the 100th anniversary of the restoration of the State of Lithuania, are organising a new exposition which will be filled with the interesting and valuable exhibits found during these archaeological researches.
