Legendary
Some historians claim that it was here, and nowhere else, that the Pilėnai tragedy took place in 1336, when after long battles, when the enemy invaded the castle, the defenders of the castle voluntarily chose death instead of surrendering to the enemy. There is also a legend that this mound was built by Duke Pyplys in honor of his dead son. It is said that the duke's son Dainutis was taken captive by the Crusaders when he was a child and his father thought he was already dead. He, meanwhile, was raised as a cross until he finally met his father in one battle, only on different sides. The father immediately recognized the son and he remembered him, but there was no time to rejoice, Dainutis was killed by a crusader here. Mourning his son's prince and pouring a mound in his memory.

Old St. John the Baptist Church, Zapyškis

Highlight • Religious Site

Well-known written sources testify that the Zapyškis Church was first mentioned in 1562, mentioning the owner of the Paštuva manor buried in it. It is mentioned in the literature that the church could have been built by the Grand Duke of Lithuania Vytautas, but there is no evidence. The style of the church is not typical of Vytautas' time. Povilas Sapiegas from Novgorod Voivodeship can be considered its builder.

Lampėdžiai Lake

Highlight • Lake

The lake was formed by excavating a gravel quarry in the Nemunas Valley between Lampėdžiai and Žemutiniai Kaniūkai, in the Nemunas and Nevėžis Landscape Reserve. Before the emergence of the gravel mine, there was a small body of water and meadows in the area. Later, by digging gravel, the lake became the size we see now.
