Surrounded by legends and fairy tales, Upytė mound is near the village of Upytė. In ancient times, this mound was an island, surrounded by swamps, and access to this place was possible only by boat or by a hidden underwater stony road called “kūlgrinda”. In the 16th century there lived a nobleman Vladislav Sicinsky, who was the first nobleman in the Seimas (the Parliament) of the Republic of the Two Nations, to take the advantage of the liberum veto right and to destroy the Seimas of Warsaw. Later, a lot of stories, fairy tales, and legends were created about the wicked lord Chichinsky. One of the most famous fairy tales is about the manor, which was swallowed up by the earth.
