Baltadvaris Castle, Renaissance castle in Baltadvaris, Lithuania
The castle spans across 5.8 hectares near the Siesartis River, featuring remains of ramparts, a main gate, and residential building sections.
Built in the mid-16th century by the Giedraičiai family, the castle protected the old road from Vilnius to Riga against attacks from Livonia.
Archaeological excavations between 1999 and 2003 revealed both common pottery and refined glazed pieces, indicating social distinctions among castle inhabitants.
The castle ruins received state protection status in 2015, ensuring the preservation of this historical structure for future generations.
Swedish builders constructed the castle using a combination of masonry techniques, earth ramparts, and wooden fortification elements.
