 Because of increased use of firearms, this type of castle was no longer suited for defensive purposes and was later used as a residence.During the 17th–18th centuries it was reorganized into a farm and a bakery.After the castle's restoration, its museum currently exhibits large collection of items made from silver by artisans of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and collection of hunting trophies and hunting knives of President Algirdas Brazauskas.
