Ritterswerder
Ritterswerder (German for "knight's ait") was a short-lived wooden castle built by the Teutonic Order in fall 1391. It was located on an island in the Neman River near Lampėdžiai, now part of the city of Kaunas. During a campaign in 1394, the Order attempted to rebuilt the castle but did not complete it as they were attacked by the Lithuanians. The Order decided to abandon the construction and besiege Vilnius for the second time. When in 1404, Vytautas confirmed the Peace of Raciąż in Kaunas, the Grand Master issued several documents from the island but did not mention the castle.
