Height - 26 m, trunk size - 1,3 m (4,05m height). In 1960, this linden tree was declared a natural monument; in 1999, the Environment Minister declared it a state-protected botanical heritage site. It is said that the parents and grandparents of Vincas Kriugiškis, who was the patron of linden, placed 10 stumps of hives around the tree, to bring honey during the trees' bloom. Hives are also being built now.
