The funicular was built in 1935. December 5 The builders were advised by engineer Prof. Jurgis Čiurlys and cars with automatic brakes were manufactured by the company "Amlit" in Kaunas. Its first passengers were the Minister of the Interior, General. Lieutenant Julius Čaplikas, Mayor of Kaunas Antanas Merkys, Deputy Mayor Colonel. Steponas Rusteika and other dignitaries.

It is a single lane elevator with two carriages passing in the middle of the street. Authentic 70 year old traction equipment, authentic pre-war wooden wagons that could carry up to 25 passengers (one), wooden benches and station buildings are preserved. Steel rails, track length 132.9 m, inclination angle 18°. The elevator carriages are equipped with special automatic brakes that prevent the carriages from rolling down if the cable breaks.
