Geocache Description:

Slēpnis atrodas 88 km no Rīgas, 50 km no Jelgavas, 21 km no Bauskas, 8 km no Rundāles pils, Svitenes centrā.

Svitenes pils bijusi ordeņa vasaļa nocietināta muižas pils, kas atradās Bauskas ordeņfogta pakļautībā. Pēc I. Lancmaņa domām, nocietināta muižas mūra dzīvojamā ēka celta Georga fon Grothusa dzīves laika. Krievijas feldmaršala Johana Martina fon Elmpta dēls Filips pārbūveja ēku par modernu pili. Līdz Pirmajam pasaules karam muižas pils bija neapdzīvota. Bermonta kareivji atkāpjoties daļēji pili izdedzināja. Sākot ar 1921./1922. mācību gadu uz pili pārvietoja pamatskolu. 1938. un 1970. g. tika veikta ēkas daļēja pārbūve.
Senais nosaukums: Schwitten
