History
The former castle in Navahrudak, Belarus was one of the strongholds of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, cited by Maciej Stryjkowski as the location of Mindaugas's coronation as King of Lithuania as well as his likely burial place. On the opinion of Lithuanian historians, there is no information that King Mindaugas lived or visited Navahrudak at all - it is Maciej Stryjkowski's 16th century written conjecture in the interpretation of legends.
