Abstract

The article analyses issues of the Crooked Castle (Curvum castrum) of Vilnius in the Middle Ages. Having located this castle in the 1930s–1960s in the territory of the current Kalnų Parkas, the necessity arose to define its relationship with the Lower and Upper castles. To achieve this goal, researchers first of all had to answer the important question of how the current relief differs from what it was in the 14th century. A group of scholars from the Lithuanian Institute of History undertook to implement this task. On the basis of interdisciplinary research methods, the article presents a reconstruction of the paleorelief of the hills, and discusses the scale of changes in the terrain and their causes.
