Trakai Castle is a gothic style Castle in Trakai. But it's not in a city: it's in Pilis island in Galvė lake!
It's the only Castle in Eastern Europe, that is built in an island. It was built in 14th century, like the most of Lithuanian castles.
In this castle, the Grand Duke Vytautas died, while he was waiting to be nominated as the King of Lithuania (Perhaps we would have two kings in our history, if he didn't die).
The Castle was used as a prison. In the war of Muscovy, the castle was abrupt.
Now it's used as a museum, you can sail with a boat around the lake.
