About

Lake Galvė is a lake in Trakai, Lithuania. Approximately 361 hectares in size, it has 21 islands, with one of them housing Trakai Island Castle. Trakai Peninsula Castle is located on its southern shore. There are ruins of the little Orthodox church in Bažnytėlė Island. The lake and most of the other lakes surrounding the castle and city have myths and legends connected to them, of which most contain a tragic love story.
