Trakai Peninsula Castle

Remaining walls and towers are preserved and protected by the Trakai Historical National Park.

[citation needed] The castle had seven towers connected by a 10 m (33 ft) high wall.

[1] After the 1422 Treaty of Melno, the castle lost its significance as a defensive structure.

The territory was granted to a Dominican cloister in 1678 by Marcjan Aleksander Ogiński, Voivode of Trakai.

It was not until the 1770s that the monks eventually built their monastery and church;[2] these buildings are also part of the castle ensemble.
