The present formation of the castle is really the developed construction done by Jeronimas, who was a governor and the secretary of the Lithuanian Grand Duchy Treasury in the middle of 17th century and he made the Raudonė castle his principal residence. In fact, this was the time, when the Raudone Castle was looked after and maintained correctly. In the course of the 18th century, it was occupied by Olendskiai family members who rebuilt the Raudonė castle many occasions according to classicism style. Later, Raudone castle was sold by Olendskiai to Zubovai family due to a fire broke up. Zubovai household entirely remodeled and completed the reconstruction in 1877.

For the duration of the 1st World War and the Second Planet War, the German armed forces destroyed the castle a lot. The Fantastic Tower of the Raudone castle was also damaged and a lot of the construction was badly affected. Soon after the Second Planet War, the Raudonė caslte was rebuilt and a major college was right here established which works till today and is the only 1 school located in the castle in Lithuania. Right now, the creating of Raudone castle of Lithuania is regarded as as an example of 19th century neo-Gothic architecture.
