Raudonė Castle

Raudonė Castle

Raudonė Castle is in Raudonė, Lithuania. Castle construction works started in late 16th century. In the 16th century the castle belonged to King Sigismund II August. A new castle was built on the ruins of the old one by a German knight, Krispin Kirschenstein. The castle has since been renovated many times (in the 18th century by the Olendzki family), and today is an example of 19th century, neo-gothic architecture.

The original castle is the setting of an East Prussian legend known as "The White Maiden of the Bayersburg".
