Legend has it that there was a wooden castle of the famous ruler Vaišvydas on the mound, which protected it from enemies. However, once the enemies, with the help of traitors, destroyed the castle to its foundations and after that it was not rebuilt. Until 1958. At the foot of the mound was the village of Pakalniškės, which was later moved out due to the construction of Kaunas HPP.
