Rudamina Mound is one of the most famous monuments of the Yotvingians who lived in Užnemunė. The mound had a strong fortress that was used to guard the locals from the crusaders. The arrowheads found in the rampart are evidence of their attacks. It is believed that in 1240, Duke Ringaudas built a castle in Rudamina on the same place where the earlier Yotvingian castles had stood, and this is where King Mindaugas was crowned in 1251.
