One of
the most famous castles in Belarus, Navahudrak Castle was one of the
strongholds of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
As
early as the 11th and 12th century the walls of the castle were repeatedly stormed by enemy
troops. In the second half of the 13th century, the first tower was
erected.
This
tower played a major role in the fact that the Navahrudak castle was never
captured by opponent troops until the war of Russia with the Polish Kingdom (1654 - 1667).
Then, after a long siege, the castle was captured and destroyed.
This
unique castle was declared a state monument in
1921.
