The structure of the current manor house began to take shape in the 17th century. At the end of the 18th century the town of Plateliai, together with the manor, became the private property of the French counts de Chuazelles - Gufje and belonged to them till 1940. The Chuazelles got Plateliai as a present from Russian Tsar Pavel I. The manor was not affected by land reform during the interwar period because the manor belonged to French citizens. Many art treasures and books are stored in the house of Chuazelles. In 1940 after the nationalization of the manor, its values were sheltered by the Samogitian Alka Museum. The assets of Plateliai manor make up a large part of all the valuables brought to the museum in that year. The remaining documents show that a few trucks of paintings, sculptures, musical instruments, and almost the entire archive of the Chuazelles family were brought from Plateliai in 1940. The wooden manor house burned down during the war. The park and several outbuildings of the manor have survived: a stable (the Mardi Gras exposition is open), a granary (the exposition of the Žemaitija National Park), a barn (the Plateliai Culture Center is open), a root cellar (the Traditional Crafts Center is open), and a servants' house (a private object). The homestead of Plateliai manor of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries is a cultural property protected by the state. The wooden manor house burned down during the Second World War (1943). Part of the buildings have been restored and adapted to the needs of society.
