Norviliskes Castle

Norviliskes Castle is a Renaissance defensive castle built in the second half of the 16th century in southeastern Lithuania, near the Belarusian border. The castle was built from stone and brick, featuring thick walls, loopholes, and a defensive tower. It is one of the few surviving examples of Renaissance defensive castles in Lithuania. The castle was built by local nobles seeking protection from Tatar raids and other threats. Over the centuries, the castle was damaged and abandoned, but restoration began in the late 20th century. Today, the castle operates as a hotel and restaurant, where guests can experience authentic life in a medieval castle.
