It is one of two minarets in Lithuania (the other is near the Kaunas Mosque), and the only free-standing minaret in the country. Built in 1880 of the Russian general Eduard Totleben, who owned the Kėdainiai estate. The minaret is dedicated to the memory of the Russian-Turkish war. It is said that such a tower supposedly stood next to the Pleven mosque, at which E. Totleben often gave prayers during the war. It is also said that the count built the minaret in honor of his Turkish lover. Probably the author of the minaret project was E. Totleben himself, who built it in the park in 1880-1882. From the minaret, the then owner of Kėdainiai and its surroundings used to show guests the park and his estates.

Minaret of Ottoman architectural features, pointed top, 25 m high, has one balcony, which is accessed by internal stairs. The top of the building is decorated with an Islamic crescent.

The minaret has been declared an architectural heritage object. For some time the building was abandoned, damaged by vandals and antisocial persons. During the maintenance of the city park, the minaret was partially repaired, the entrance to the interior was closed.
