Mentioned back in the thirteenth century, the area saved its historical name until now. The manor established here in the mid-sixteenth century later became the largest landowner in the region and its managers held significant posts (like H.T. von Schön and L.F. Dressler). When the former lord's manor was privatized in 1812, its fundamental reconstruction began, expanding the lands, reforming the homestead and its surroundings, building new brick buildings, and building new roads – a tree-planted alley. In the early twentieth century, the estate had a distillery, a dairy, a water mill, a sawmill, a beekeeper buzzing, but the estate was most famous for its breeding horses, sheep (as many as 1,000 held). The invasion of the Russian army in 1914, the Soviet occupation that began in autumn 1944 destroyed most of this heritage. The manor palace was burned in 1914. The oldest surviving manor building in Ben is a double-storey barn built in the nineteenth century. The distillery building has a public history museum of Šereiklaukis. There is an impressive age and size linden in the centre of the manor, plenty of other spectacular trees and their groups in the manor environment, and an alley about 1.5 km long leads towards the landlord cemetery and the chapel site (Koplyčkalnis). The remains of the estate and its surroundings are now being managed as a distinctive and valuable object of archaeological and historical heritage in Rambyn Regional Park.
