Trakai Castle

Sep 11, 2006

Trakai is the ancient capital of Lithuania just outside of Vilnius.  The castle was originally built-in the 1400 (and later restored) to defend against crusaders.  In later years the castle was used as a political prison.

Complete with drawbridges and moats, the castle is stunning with its gothic architecture.  In addition to being a tourist attraction the castle is still used during festivals.

It was absolutely beatifull surrounded by the lake and plush countryside.
