This was how the <a href="/wiki/Old_Trakai_Castle" class="mw-redirect" title="Old Trakai Castle">Old Trakai Castle</a> was built in Senieji Trakai. The name of Trakai was first mentioned in <a href="/wiki/Teutonic_Knights" class="mw-redirect" title="Teutonic Knights">Teutonic Knights'</a> chronicles in 1337. This year is considered to be the official date of city's foundation.

The new location was a place of intensive construction: a new castle was built in the strait between lakes Galvė and Luka and known as the <a href="/wiki/Trakai_Peninsula_Castle" title="Trakai Peninsula Castle">Peninsula Castle</a>, and another one, known as the <a href="/wiki/Trakai_Island_Castle" title="Trakai Island Castle">Island Castle</a>, on an island in Lake Galvė. A village grew around the castles. Vicinity of Trakai was protected by <a href="/wiki/Senieji_Trakai_Castle" title="Senieji Trakai Castle">Senieji Trakai</a>, Strėva, Bražuolė, Daniliškės and other <a href="/wiki/Hillfort" title="Hillfort">hillforts</a> from attacks of the Teutonic Knights. Despite the protection, both wooden castles were successfully raided by the Teutonic Knights several times in a row. </p><p>The town was in the center of a conflict between Grand Duke <a href="/wiki/Jogaila" class="mw-redirect" title="Jogaila">Jogaila</a> (later to become King of Poland) with his uncle <a href="/wiki/K%C4%99stutis" title="Kęstutis">Kęstutis</a>.

A few weeks later Kęstutis died in captivity and Jogaila transferred the castles to his brother <a href="/wiki/Skirgaila" title="Skirgaila">Skirgaila</a>, who became the governor of Lithuania Proper. However, his rule was briefly interrupted when in 1,383 joint forces of Kęstutis's son <a href="/wiki/Vytautas" class="mw-redirect" title="Vytautas">Vytautas</a> and the Teutonic Knights captured the town. In 1392, Vytautas and Jogaila signed the <a href="/wiki/Astrava_Agreement" class="mw-redirect" title="Astrava Agreement">Astrava Agreement</a> ending their quarrel. Vytautas became the Grand Duke of Lithuania while Jogaila technically remained his superior. Vytautas also regained his father's lands, including Trakai. Despite his official capital being in Vilnius, Vytautas spent more time in Trakai. In early 15th century he replaced the older, wooden fortress with a stone-built castle. Some design elements were borrowed from the castles of the Teutonic Knights as Vytautas spent some time with the Teutons forming an alliance against Jogaila in earlier years. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Trakai_Karaite_house.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d1/Trakai_Karaite_house.JPG/220px-Trakai_Karaite_house.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="2560" data-file-height="1920"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 165px;" data-mw-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d1/Trakai_Karaite_house.JPG/220px-Trakai_Karaite_house.JPG" data-width="220" data-height="165" data-mw-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d1/Trakai_Karaite_house.JPG/330px-Trakai_Karaite_house.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d1/Trakai_Karaite_house.JPG/440px-Trakai_Karaite_house.JPG 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </span></a><figcaption>A typical triple-windowed wooden Karaim house in Trakai</figcaption></figure> <p>Trakai became a political and an administrative centre of the Duchy, sometimes named a <i>de facto</i> capital of Lithuania.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The construction of the brick castles was finished and a Catholic church was built.
