Baron Von Rop owned the land on which Pakruojis was built. He kept good relations with his Jewish citizens for example: When Moishe Shapiro died the Baron came and sat with the widow Frada to offer his condolences.  

Another example:

When the Jews were expelled from Lithuania in 1915, a Jewish family from Pakruojis left the keys of their house to the Baron. When they returned in 1918 the Baron handed over the keys to this family and they could enter their house again. The house was in the same state as it was before they were forced to leave it.
