In the 16th–17th centuries, as the Nemunas River became a vital trade route, castles evolved into decorative residences. Around the late 16th century, Krispin Kirschenstein, a nobleman of Prussian origin, built a Renaissance-style residence here. The castle flourished under his grandson Jeronimas Krispin Kirschenstein, Treasurer and Secretary of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
Later, the castle belonged to the notable Platon Zubov family, and its last owner was a Portuguese man, Ferrio de Castro. During World War II, the castle tower was destroyed by retreating German forces.
After the war, the residence was restored, including the reconstruction of the 33.5-meter-high tower, which now offers stunning views of the Raudonė surroundings.
