About Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania

The Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania is a palace in Vilnius, Lithuania. It was originally constructed in the 15th century for the rulers of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the future Kings of Poland. The palace, located in the lower castle of Vilnius, evolved over the years and prospered during the 16th and mid-17th centuries. For four centuries the palace was one of the political, administrative and cultural centres of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. It was demolished in 1801.
