The first professional six-year music school in Lithuania operated in this building in 1872-1904, maintained by Duke Bogdan Oginski. The Plungė Mykolas Oginskis Orchestra, in which Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis played from 1889 to 1892, also visited here every year.

In 2000, by the decision of the Rietavas Municipal Council, the Rietavas Oginskis Cultural History Museum was established here. The exhibition of reproductions of M. K. Čiurlionis' paintings in the museum's conference hall is a reminder of the artist, who visited the museum many times at the end of the nineteenth century and performed here together with other artists, and whose musical heritage is also celebrated by his great-grandson, Prof. Rokas Zubovas, who also gave a concert here, and by other performers.
