Yellow stands for sun, light and prosperity; green for the beauty of nature, freedom and hope; and red for ground, courage and the blood shed for the motherland.

 

Trakai Island Castle is located in Trakai, Lithuania on an island on the shores of Lake Galvė. The castle is sometimes referred to as "Little Marienburg". The construction of the stone castle was begun in the 14th century by Kęstutis, and around 1409 major works were completed by his son Vytautas the Great, who died in this castle in 1430. Trakai was one of the main centers of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the castle held great strategic importance.

The castle was reconstructed after WWII in a 15th century style.
