According to the legend, Gediminas, while hunting accidentally discovered a nice hill in the forest. So he ordered to build of a castle in this place and transfer the capital from Kernav\u0117. In 1345-1382, it was ruled by the Duke of Trakai and Samogitia K\u0119stutis, the son of Gediminas, who resided there.
