The castle was located east of Vilnius on a high hill near the Vilnia River. It was built in the 16th century in the Renaissance style and has been the seat of the Olshanski family. Alexander Olshanski, Jurgis Olshanski and the last family member Pawel Olshanski have lived there. After his death the castle was inherited by Bona Sforza and later passed to the Pac family. The Deputy Chancellor of Lithuania Stefan Pac was visited here by the King Vladislav Vasa on July 15, 1636. Read more
