Snap StoriesTrakai Island Castle, Lithuania
Part 1 of 3 - Beginnings and construction
The history of Trakai Castle begins in the 14th century, during a period of rapid expansion for the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. In 1323, Duke Gediminas moved the capital of Lithuania to Trakai, which initiated the construction of the first fortress. In 1337, during the reign of Duke Kęstutis, the first brick castle was built on a peninsula on Lake Galve, intended to defend against invasions by the Teutonic Order. Unfortunately, the castle was captured and destroyed by the Teutonic Knights in 1377. Following these events, in 1378, Kęstutis decided to build a new fortress on an island in Lake Galve. Construction began around 1382. After Kęstutis’s death, his son, Grand Duke Vytautas, continued the construction and expansion of the castle. The fortress was ultimately completed between 1404 and 1408, representing the Gothic architectural style. The castle served as a strategic defensive fortress and a princely residence, constituting an important defensive point against the Teutonic Knights.
