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

The village used to be on the right bank of the Neman, east of Mozūrai [lt]. In around 1960, when the construction of the Kaunas Hydroelectric Power Plant started, the village was evicted, because after the construction of the power plant, the whole territory of Kaunas appeared at the bottom of the Kaunas Reservoir.

### Origin of the name

The name of the village comes from the surname Gastila.
