Raudonė Castle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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".
