Castles are a source of inspiration and fantasy, and Trakai Castle is the stereotype of any fortress.
Trakai is a village built on a peninsula, surrounded by lakes on all sides. The village itself is attractive especially in the northern part, where you can find typical wooden cottages. Around the 14th century, Vytautas brought the Karaites here, a sect which he used for his own protection. Vytautas himself constructed a castle on a small island in the lake where it was virtually impossible to conquer.
