Biržai Castle was built between 1586 and 1589 by Duke Kristupas Radvila (Radziwill) Perkūnas (God of Thunder) and it is the best preserved bastioned castle in Lithuania. During the 17th and 18th centuries, it was the main Lithuanian stronghold in the wars with Sweden but in 1625 – 1627 it was captured by the Swedes and largely destroyed. The reconstruction lasted for nearly fifty. In 1682, Biržai with its fortifications, palace and twenty other buildings was a huge defensive site and nearly a hundred cannons were kept in its arsenal.
