About: Pieštvė

An Entity of Type: Hill fort, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

Pieštvė (also known as Beisten, Bisten, Pistene, Pista, Pestwa, etc. in medieval chronicles) was a wooden fortress of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania during the Lithuanian Crusade. It stood on a hill fort that is known as Palemon Hill in Seredžius, Jurbarkas District Municipality, Lithuania, located near the confluence of the Neman and Dubysa rivers. It was an important Lithuanian defensive outpost against the Teutonic Order. It was first mentioned in written sources in 1293 and attacked numerous times by the Order. Because it stood near Junigeda (Veliuona), both fortresses were often attacked together. It was burned down in 1363, a year following the fall of Kaunas Castle. It was rebuilt in May 1412 but lost its strategic importance after the Treaty of Melno (1422) and was abandoned. Earlier

  • Pieštvė (nota anche come Beisten, Bisten, Pistene, Pista, Pestwa o in altre varianti simili nelle cronache medievali) fu una fortezza di legno utilizzata come postazione difensiva durante la crociata lituana, nel periodo di lotta tra Granducato di Lituania e Stato monastico dei Cavalieri Teutonici. Localizzata su una fortezza di collina conosciuta come collina Palemon a Seredžius, nel comune distrettuale di Jurbarkas, in Lituania, non è molto distante dalla confluenza dei fiumi Nemunas e Dubysa. Questo importante avamposto difensivo baltico, menzionato per la prima volta in fonti scritte nel 1293, risultò attaccato numerose volte dall'ordine: poiché si trovava vicino a Junigeda (Veliuona), entrambe le fortezze subivano spesso assalti in contemporanea. Affrontò un grave incendio nel 1363, un anno dopo la caduta del castello di Kaunas, ma fu ricostruita nel maggio 1412, perdendo presto la sua importanza strategica in virtù del trattato di Melno (1422). Da quell'anno la struttura fu abbandonata. Gli studiosi del passato l'hanno spesso confusa con la vicina . (it)
