Kaunas Castle

Kaunas Castle is a medieval Gothic stone castle on an elevated bank at the confluence of the Nemunas and Neris rivers in Kaunas, Lithuania. Built in the mid-14th century and rebuilt around the turn of the 15th century, it served as a defensive strongpoint, residence and administrative centre.

As it stood in 1409

The shape it held in its prime.

A compact Gothic stone fortress set on a raised river bank at the Nemunas–Neris confluence, with thick curtain walls roughly 3–3.5 m wide and over 10 m high. In its prime the castle enclosed a yard and four towers: a cylindrical (south‑eastern) tower and a rectangular/quadrangular (south‑western) tower among two others, all rising several storeys with narrow vertical arrow slits and crenellated wall-walks with firing galleries. Masonry is rough-hewn local stone, no later artillery bastion is present in this phase.
