At the end of the 14th - 15th century Trakai Castle was a summer residence of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania. The throne of the Ruler used to stand in this hall, envoys were received and feasts were held here. In 1962 a historical museum was opened in the Castle and the hall is used for cultural events, concerts of chamber and old music, conferences or receptions. At the present time the hall contains 28 benches with backrests made by imitating the gothic style. Tables and other necessary equipment should be brought.
