History
In 1867, a 9th-10th century Dirham treasure (92 coins) minted by Abbasid and Saffarid nobility was found in Riešė - an evidence of economic ties and importance of this habitable place even a thousand years ago. Unfortunately, the treasure was taken to Russia by the imperial administration. Lands and manor in the eldership were historically known since 16th century, when they belonged to the Vilnius Chapter. In 1681, the mansion was given rights to build a bridge across Riešė River and collect tolls.{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=Vilniaus rajono savivaldybės administracija - Riešės seniūnija|url=https://www.vrsa.lt/go.php/Rie%C5%A1%C4%97s169|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2021-01-06|website=www.vrsa.lt}}
