Rokantiškės Castle, Renaissance castle ruins in Naujoji Vilnia, Lithuania
The castle remains stand on an elevated hill near the Vilnia River, featuring stone walls that demonstrate medieval construction techniques.
The original structure from the 12th century underwent Renaissance reconstruction in the 16th century before Cossacks destroyed it in 1655.
The castle served as a residence for the Olshanski family and later became a property of Queen Bona Sforza and the Pac noble family.
The castle ruins are accessible through marked paths in the eastern part of Vilnius, offering views of the surrounding landscape.
Deputy Chancellor Stefan Pac received King Władysław IV Vasa at this location on July 15, 1636, marking its role in Lithuanian nobility gatherings.
