Gastilonys is a former village in the Kaišiadorys District Municipality, Lithuania, located 1 kilometer south of Grabučiškės, on the right bank of the Kaunas Reservoir.
The Gastilonys Botanical-Zoological Reserve has been established in the village, where Gastilonys oak [lt] grows.
History
[edit ]The village used to be on the right bank of the Neman, east of Mozūrai [lt]. In 1959, Kaunas was flooded during the construction of the Kaunas Hydroelectric Power Plant, creating the Kaunas Reservoir.
Origin of the name
[edit ]The name of the village comes from the surname Gastila.[2]
