Siesikai Castle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Siesikai Castle is the residential castle near Siesikai, Ukmergė district, Lithuania.
It is presumed that the first castle on the Siesikai Lake was built by the Grand Duke of Lithuania Daumantas in the 13th century. His heirs were known as Daumantai, also called Siesicki, had given their family name to the nearby town. The masonry palace was built in the 16th century in the Renaissance style, and was reconstructed in the Neoclassical style in the 19th century. Only 2 towers remain from the former castle, which had four of them in every corner of the palace. The castle is undergoing restoration since 1990.
