Trakai Peninsula Castle

Trakai Peninsula Castle was constructed in the mid-14th century (circa 1350–1377) by Duke Kęstutis as part of a network of defenses protecting Trakai and the capital, Vilnius, from Teutonic Knight attacks. Much of the castle was destroyed in the 17th century; remaining walls and towers have been preserved and are administered within the Trakai Historical National Park. The provided sources focus on the castle's history, architecture, and preservation. Although the research brief referenced hauntings — specifically ghostly apparitions and weeping women — those claims do not appear in the cited Wikipedia or Wikidata entries and therefore are not corroborated here. No named spirits, folkloric narratives, or investigative reports of paranormal activity are present in the supplied material. Further research in local folklore collections, oral histories, or dedicated paranormal investigations would be required to document any supernatural traditions associated with the site.
