The Peninsula Castle Ruins in Trakai stand on a narrow stretch of land between several lakes and form an important part of the region’s medieval history. The remains of the fortress show old defensive walls towers and gates that once protected the area during the time of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Visitors can walk through the site explore the surviving stone structures and enjoy open views of the surrounding water and landscape. The ruins create a quiet atmospheric setting that contrasts with the more restored Trakai Island Castle and offer a strong sense of the past in a natural environment.
