The Seredius 2nd Hillfort, the more reserved sibling to the illustrious Seredius, rests as a rectangular fortification, slumbering under the knights' watchful eye, originating in the 14th to 15th centuries. Positioned at the southwest bend of the river Nemunas, it sprawls across a square of 50x55 meters. From 2000 to 2002, the excavations by Linas Kvizikevičius unveiled the remnants of a 3.5-meter thick stone structure, buried in the heart of the hillfort, dating to the 17th to 18th centuries. In the knights' era, the Seredius 2nd Hillfort sheltered the administration for the Mykolo Kiuchmeisterio rezidencija, a truth that, like a family heirloom laden with secrets, has gathered dust for centuries. What other bone-chilling mysteries does this enigmatic hillfort conceal? Only an expedition can offer the answers.
