Raudone Castle

Raudone Castle is located in Raudone, Lithuania.

Raudone Castle construction started in the late 16th century. In the 16th century the castle belonged to King Sigismund II Augustus of Poland. A new castle was built on the ruins of the old one by a German knight, Krispin Kirschenstein.

The castle has since been renovated couple times (in the 18th century by the Olendzki family), and today is an example of 19th century neo-Gothic architecture.

The Raudone Castle is now turned into a secondary school. Although that, during the tourist season, visitors are allowed to enter the 35 m castle tower, which extends a beautiful view of castle’s surroundings. The longest river in Lithuania, Nemunas flows past the castle.
