When I went near the castle it was about 6PM and it was closed. It reportedly serves as art gallery but there was no information as to when it will open, so I didn't bother going again next day. Around the castle there are lots of green area and it is located on the banks of river Neris. The campus around is very nice to relax. Wikipedia has detailed history of the Kaunas castle if you are interested.
