The first professional six-year music school in Lithuania, maintained by Prince Bogdan Ogiński, operated in this building in 1872–1904. The Michał Ogiński Orchestra of Plungė, the member of which Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis was in 1889–1892, visited here every year.

In 2000, Rietavas Oginskiai Cultural History Museum was established here. An exposition of reproductions of M. K. Čiurlionis’ paintings in the conference hall of the museum alludes to the future genius of our nation, who had been here many times to perform with other musicians at the end of the 19th century.
