About this activity
The first wooden fortifications were built by Gediminas, Grand Duke of Lithuania. First time the castle was mentioned in 1323 and his date is also regarded to be an official establishment of Vilnius city. When a fire destroyed the wooden castle, a brick castle was constructed during the reign of Grand Duke of Lithuania Vytautas at the beginning of the 15th century. At that time Gediminas Castle was zoned off by a 320 meter length stone wall with three defensive towers.

The castle was heavily damaged during the war with Moscow and only the western tower among all survived until our days. Exactly this tower is currently known as the Gediminas Tower. The tower was damaged again during the WWII, and reconstructed already during the Cold War in 1956 – 1960. At that time a museum was opened and is still functioning till our days.

The Museum of Gediminas Castle Tower houses armament and iconographic material of the Old Vilnius: medieval cannon balls, military weaponry, examples of knight armor. Pictures of Gediminas castle ruins and reconstruction works, exterior models and other exhibitions let you compare the territory of the Vilnius castles in different periods. On the top of the tower there is a viewpoint, opening most of old town buildings, churches and beautiful sea of red roofs. The view stretches from a nearby Vilnelė and Neris river valleys to a new-town district in southern part of Vilnius
