Raudonė Castle is a residential castle of the 19th century in Raudonė, Lithuania.
Bayersburg II Castle, an old Teutonic castle, stood here until the 16th century. The original castle is the setting of an East Prussian legend known as “The White Maiden of the Bayersburg”. Raudonė was a royal manor, which Grand Duke Sigismund II August gave to Prussian merchant Krispin Kirschenstein. He built a Renaissance style manor house with a 34 m cylindrical tower on the grounds of the old castle at the end of the 16th century.
The 18th century owners of the Raudonė estate the Olędzki Rawicz family commissioned Laurynas Stuoka-Gucevičius to renovate the castle. The next owner, the Russian Prince Platon Zubov in the first half of the 19th century transformed the castle yet again. Their architect was Cesare Anichini. Today the whole complex is an example of 19th-century Neo-Gothic architecture.
