Navahrudak Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Navahrudak, Belarus.

The castle complex contains remnants of seven towers positioned on a hilltop, with stone foundations revealing the original fortification layout.

During the reign of Vytautas the Great in the 14th century, four stone towers were added to strengthen the defensive capabilities of this strategic stronghold.

The castle site regularly hosts medieval reenactments and theatrical jousting events that showcase historical combat techniques and period customs of Belarus.

The castle remains are accessible for exploration during daylight hours, with several hotels located within walking distance of the historical complex.

Maciej Stryjkowski documented this location as the site of Mindaugas's coronation as the first King of Lithuania and potentially his final resting place.
