O znamenitosti
Hitre informacije: The castle was built in the 1350s and served as a stronghold of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania against the Teutonic Knights. Today it houses a museum with over 2,000 exhibits, ranging from medieval weapons to period furniture.
Poudarki: The interior of the castle has recently been restored with fresh, vibrant murals depicting scenes from the medieval court of the Lithuanian dukes. The throne room is a small gem with golden decorations and wood carvings that transport you straight to the 14th century.
Notranji nasveti
- Wear comfortable shoes, as the stone steps and uneven surfaces are quite slippery.
- Climb the central tower for a panoramic photo of the lake and the surrounding hills.
- Avoid weekend afternoons, when the tour buses make the place uncomfortably crowded.
- Combine the visit with a boat ride on Lake Galvė for a completely different perspective.
