A poplar tree growing in the village of Paštuva reminds of the difficult times of serfdom. Ignas Karpis, the owner of the Paštuva manor who lived in 18th-19th centuries, fell in love with his serf Marta. After he went abroad, on the eve of his return, the landlord's sister Jadvyga ordered several serfs to be whipped, including her brother's lover, "to save the family's honor". When Karpis returned, he did not find his beloved alive and ordered to plant the whips used to beat the serfs - one took root and a poplar tree grew. Landlord Karpis was the first to abolish serfdom in his estates in Lithuania and freed 700 serfs. in 2011 the poplar was damaged by lightning.
