Trakai Island Castle



1-     Trakai Island Castle (Lituania: Trakų salos pilis). 
2-      It is an island castle located in Trakai, Lithuania on an island in Lake Galvė. 
3-      The construction of the stone castle was begun in the 14th century by Kęstutis, and around 1409 major works were completed by his son Vytautas the Great. 
4-     The castle could be described as Gothic with some Romanesque features. 
5-     Trakai Island Castle is now a major tourist attraction. In the environment of medieval castles variety of events, such as the day of ancient craft or knight tournaments and various concerts takes place. 
6-     I didn’t know anything about this fantastic castle island in Tarkai, but knowing a little bit more of it, was a new vision of gothic art. 

7-     Trakai Island castles waiting for each tourist, where one will find interesting visuals and impressions, where nature and architecture harmonically supplement each other. For me have had the pleasure to see and visit it, was an incredible experience.
