Navahrudak Castle

The former castle in Navahrudak, Belarus (Belarusian: Навагрудскі замак, Lithuanian: Naugarduko pilis, Polish: Zamek w Nowogródku) was one of the strongholds of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, cited by Maciej Stryjkowski as the location of Mindaugas's coronation as King of Lithuania as well as his likely burial place.

), there is no information that King Mindaugas lived or visited Navahrudak at all - it is Maciej Stryjkowski's 16th century written conjecture in the interpretation of legends.

During the reign of Vytautas the Great four new stone towers were added to the system of Navahrudak fortifications.

Further destruction was inflicted by the Swedes who sacked Navahrudak as part of the Great Northern War in 1706.

The castle grounds at present provide the setting for medieval reenactment and theatrical jousting.
