Trakai (Lithuania) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Trakai in Lithuania,
In the Middle Ages when the Grand Dukes ruled, the ancient capital of Trakai was the political centre of power of Lithuania. Small, colourful traditional wooden buildings line Karaimu Gatve and the descendants of the first Karaer still live there. The gabled buildings face the street and contain three small windows, one for God, one for Vytautas and one for the inhabitants themselves. In 1409, following his third baptism, the church was founded by Duke Vytautas and became a part of the protective system of the Trakaer city. Both its facades and interior decoration contain features of the later Gothic and Baroque construction. The construction of the Water Castle began with the erection of a palace and a deep ditch that contained water from the lake separated the palace from the promontory. At the same time casemates and towers were built and a wall with three towers on each corner surrounded the promontory. The main entrance to the castle was only accessible via a drawbridge and an additional portcullis provided further protection. Within the former treasury are objects that belonged to the Teutonic knights. Indeed, it was Duke Vytautas who made an alliance with the Teutonic Order and thus came to power in 1390. Magnificently crafted jugs, plates and cups of gold, highlight the wealth and power of Lithuania’s royal court. This beautifully preserved castle complex with its unique architecture of stone and wood has a national significance for Lithuania: it is a symbol of the courageous steadfastness of the Lithuanians against the Crusaders!

Trakai island castle: Lithuania's fairy-tale castle
The island castle of Trakai, around 28km outside Vilnius looks stunning even on an overcast day. Its shiny red brick restored exterior, its romantic lakeside setting, its medieval history, its links with the local Crimean Karaite community and its inner courtyard that looks like an MC Escher drawing, makes it an interesting day trip from the Lithuanian capital. Enjoy x

Travel Lithuania - Visiting Trakai Island Castle in Vilnius
Take a tour of Trakai Island Castle in Vilnius, Lithuania -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
Built in three distinct phases, Trakai Island Castle outside Vilnius, Lithuania, dominates a small island on Lake Galve.
The castle was built in the 14th century by a Lithuanian monarch, as his new primary residence and treasury.
The castle suffered interminable damage during its first phase and was besieged twice after the assassination of its patron monarch.
During the second part of construction, a chapel, an interior yard, and more defense structures were added.
The foundation of the structure is primarily made of stone, while more accessible parts are made of red Gothic brick, giving it a Gothic and Romanesque look.
The walls were made thicker during the third phase and the castle became a fortress and prison.
In the aftermath of WWII, a significant reconstruction of the castle was undertaken, which led to it now being open to visitors year round.

잔잔한 호수 위 나무를 덮고 잠든 듯한 성, 육백 년 전 세워진 트라카이 성은 중세 리투아니아의 통치자였던 대공이 거주하던 곳이다. 갈베 호수 위 세 개의 섬이 성을 품고 있고 3백 미터의 나무 다리는 성과 육지를 연결한다. 당시엔 호수의 수위가 지금보다 2미터 높았기 때문에 이런 통로는 모두 물에 잠겨 있었고 차가운 호수와 두터운 성벽에 둘러싸인 성은 좀처럼 침입하기 어려운 곳이었다. “이 요새는 십자군에 맞서 싸우기 위해 지은 거예요. 당시 십자군, 독일 기사단이 기독교 신앙을 전파한다는 핑계로 리투아니아를 자주 공격했거든요. 하지만 십자군이 이 성 안으로 들어간 적은 한 번도 없어요. 15세기에 이 성은 정말 튼튼한 성이었거든요. 동유럽에서 가장 견고한 요새 중의 하나였죠” 대공의 왕좌가 놓여 있는 가장 중요한 방에는 잘기리스 전투를 기념하는 그림이 걸려 있다. 리투아니아와 폴란드가 연합해 독일 십자군을 무찔렀던 중세의 자랑스러운 기억. 그런가하면 대공 부인의 침실에는 독일 십자군의 수호성인인 성모 마리아의 그림이 걸려 있다. 유럽의 마지막 이교도 국가가 가톨릭이 되던 혼돈의 시간이 담긴 호수. “뭐가 마음에 들어요?” “자연이요” “아름다워요?” “성이 마음에 드니? 산책하기 좋고, 아름다운 자연도 있죠. 사람들이 없을 때 오면 역사 속의 분위기를 느낄 수 있어서 더 좋아요” “10년, 20년을 살아도 늘 생각나고 되돌아가고 싶은 곳이 트라카이예요. 유난히 깨끗한 호수, 유난히 아름다운 분위기가 있죠. 가장 유명한 공작, 가장 유명한 백작, 많은 지식인들과 착하고 정직한 사람들이 트라카이에 살았던 건 우연이 아니었어요”

The sleepy castle on the calm lakes, the castle of Trakai built 600 years ago, was the site of the Grand Duchy, the ruler of medieval Lithuania. Three islands above the Galle Lake bear the castle and a 300-foot wooden bridge connects the castle and the land. At that time, the water level of the lake was two meters higher than it is now, so all of these aisles were submerged, and the castle surrounded by cold lakes and thick walls was hardly invaded. This fort was built to fight against the Crusades. At that time, the Crusaders, the Knights of Germany, frequently attacked Lithuania as an excuse to spread Christian faith. But the crusaders have never entered this castle. In the 15th century this castle was a very strong castle. It was one of the strongest fortresses in Eastern Europe. The most important room where the throne of the Grand Prix is located is a picture commemorating the Battle of Chagrin. The medieval proud memory of Lithuania and Poland allied to defeat the German crusade. On the other hand, a picture of the Virgin Mary, the patron saint of the German crusade, is hanging in the bedroom of Mrs. The last pagan nation in Europe was a Catholic lake with chaotic time. What do you like? Nature Is it beautiful? Do you like your surname? It is nice to walk, and there is beautiful nature. It's better to be able to feel the atmosphere in history when people do not exist. Ten years, twenty years, I always remember where I want to go back. There is an exceptionally clean lake, an exceptionally beautiful atmosphere. It was no coincidence that the most famous peacocks, the most famous Count, the many intellectuals, and the good and honest people lived in Trakai

Mėlyna ramiųjų ežerų pilis, Trakų pilis, pastatyta prieš 600 metų, buvo Didžiosios kunigaikštystės, viduramžių Lietuvos valdovo vieta. Trijų salų virš Galle ežero yra pilis ir 300 pėdų medinis tiltas jungia pilį ir žemę. Tuo metu ežero lygis buvo dviem metrais aukštesnis nei dabar, taigi visi šie praėjimai buvo panardinti, o pilis, apsupta šaltuoju ežeru ir storomis sienomis, vargu ar buvo įsiveržta. Šis fortas buvo pastatytas kovai su Kryžiaus žygiais. Tuo metu krikščionys, Vokietijos herojai, dažnai puolė Lietuvą kaip pasisekimą išpranašauti krikščioniškąjį tikėjimą. Tačiau kryžiuočiai niekada neįėjo į šią pilį. XV a. Ši pilis buvo labai stipri pilis. Tai buvo vienas iš stipriausių Rytų Europos tvirtovių. Svarbiausias kambarys, kuriame yra Grand Prix sostas, yra paveikslas, primenantis Chagrin mūšį. Viduramžiais didžiuojasi Lietuvos ir Lenkijos atmintis, susijusi su vokiečių kryžiaus kariuomenės nugalėjimu. Kita vertus, Mergelės Marijos, Vokietijos kryžiaus kariuomenės globėjo, paveikslėlis kabo Mrs. Paskutinė pagonių tauta Europoje buvo chaotiškas laikas katalikiškam ežerui. Ką jums patinka? Gamta Ar tai grazus? Ar jums patiko tavo pavardė? Malonu vaikščioti, ir yra graži gamta. Geriau jausti atmosferą istorijoje, kai žmonės neegzistuoja. Dešimt metų, dvidešimt metų aš visada prisimenu, kur noriu sugrįžti. Yra išskirtinai švarus ežeras, išskirtinai gražus atmosfera. Neatsitiktinai Trakuose gyveno garsiausi povai, garsiausias Grafas, daugelis intelektualų, geri ir sąžiningi žmonės

트라카이는 숲과 호수의 도시로 유명한데 대표적인 호수가 가리베 호수다. 리투아니아는 이곳 외에도 2,800 여개의 크고 작은 호수가 있어 호수의 나라로 불리기도 한다. 호수 한 가운데 자리한 트라카이성은 붉은 빛깔의 성과 호수가 잘 어우러져 아름다운 자태를 뽐내는 성이다. 지금은 다리가 놓여 접근이 수월하지만 중세에 이 성은 그야말로 난공불락의 요새였을 것이다. 성 외부의 아름다움에 비해 성 내부는 별로 볼 만한 것이 없다는 점이 아쉽지만 호수위에 떠 있는 듯한 아름다운 모습만으로도 이 성은 수많은 관광객을 불러 모으고 있다.
