In the mid-14th century, the Teutonic Knights built Dubysa Castle. Intense battles raged for many decades. Eventually, in 1409, to avoid direct confrontation with the Lithuanian army, the Knights themselves burned down the castle. Today, two mounds remain, locally known as Palocėliai. In the 16th century, a manor stood here, where Mykolas Kiuchmeisteris was based. This manor was used to coordinate the administration of Samogitia.
