The siege of Kaunas was laid by the Teutonic Order on the newly built Kaunas Castle in spring 1362. It was the first brick castle built by the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. After a month-long siege, the castle was captured and destroyed. Its commander Vaidotas, son of Kęstutis, and 36 others were taken captive. The defeat, followed by the destruction of Veliuona and Pieštvė the following year, severely weakened Lithuanian defenses along the Neman River and opened central Lithuania to Teutonic attacks.

  • L'assedio di Kaunas fu un attacco posto in essere dall'ordine teutonico ai danni del nuovo castello di Kaunas, costruito nella primavera del 1362: si trattava del primo castello in mattoni ultimato dal Granducato di Lituania. Dopo circa un mese di assedio, il castello andò espugnato e distrutto: il comandante di guardia, Vaidotas, figlio di Kęstutis, e altri 36 furono fatti prigionieri. La sconfitta, seguita dalla distruzione di Veliuona e Pieštvė l'anno successivo, indebolì gravemente le difese lituane lungo il fiume Nemunas e spianò la strada per la Lituania centrale agli attacchi teutonici.
