In short

The castle is famous for its gothic architecture

and its special location – it stands on an island
on Lake Galve, one of the deepest lakes in
Lithuania. The view of the historic structure is
straight out of a fairy tale. You can reach the
castle by crossing the long wooden bridge. In
the winter the lake freezes over and becomes a
natural skating rink. You can also take in a
special view of the castle from a yacht.

Visit the museum inside the castle to explore

the exhibitions of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania,
various archaeological findings and artefacts, as
well as a collection of art. In the summer there
are medieval festivals as well as various events
and concerts in the castle’s courtyard.

Brief History

The castle was built in the 14th century and

served as a residence for the Grand Dukes of
Lithuania. However, the structure fell into
disarray in the 17th century and was only rebuilt
in 1951. In 1962, the castle became a part of the
Trakai History Museum.
