Klaipėda Castle, Gothic castle in Klaipėda, Lithuania.

The stone fortification stands at the confluence of the Dangė River and Baltic Sea, featuring defensive walls and underground chambers.

The Teutonic Knights constructed the initial wooden structure in 1252, later replacing it with stone fortifications to control regional maritime trade.

The castle museum displays 5,000 archaeological artifacts spanning from the 13th to 18th centuries, including medieval weapons and household items.

Visitors can explore the restored northern curtain wall exhibition 'Kurtina' through interactive terminals, projectors, holograms, and LED screens.

A 16th-century golden ring with precious stone, discovered during excavations, represents the highest civilian recognition in medieval Klaipėda.
