The village of 59 homesteads is a monument of local architecture, 12 km south of Marcinkoniai. One of the most remote forest settlements in south-eastern Lithuania, mentioned in the written sources for the first time in 1785. The village of Musteika is surrounded by forests on all sides, while in the northeast there is a swam of Chapkeliai near it. In the past, there were plenty of animals and birds in these forests and wetlands, so Lithuanian nobles came here to hunt. The main work of the villagers since ancient times has been tree hollow beekeeping. In 2006, an exhibition of Drevinė (Tree hollow) apiculture was established. In 1918, the naturalist Tadas Ivanauskas lived in Musteika for a while, where he founded a Lithuanian school and taught there.
