This is one of the Panemunė castles, spread along the picturesque right bank of the Nemunas. Over the centuries, the Renaissance manor palace-castle was rebuilt several times according to the whims of each new owner. The present castle building is not entirely original either, because during the Second World War the castle's great tower was blown up and its southern wing was damaged. In the mid-20th century the castle was restored and a primary school was set up in it. The great tower of Raudonė Castle (33.5 m high) has been opened to tourists – stairs lead up to a viewing platform offering wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. Next to the castle are Raudonė Park (26.8 ha; laid out from the late 16th century), a watermill and a natural monument – the Gediminas Oak. Today two avenues of small-leaved limes and Norway spruces stretch through the park. A horse chestnut about 200 years old grows here, with a trunk 1.3–1.4 metres in diameter. There is also a monument to the Red Army in the park.
