Penghujung Kunjungan Trakai

Beberapa foto di penghujung lawatan ke Trakai.

Bangunan lama Trakai mesti ada tiga tingkap

Apa cerita di sebalik ada tiga tingkap? Ada makna rupanya.

Jawapan pun ada macam-macam:

According to legend Karaites used to build their houses dedicating one window to God, a second to Vytautas (the ruler), and the third one for the owner himself. In reality it was all about money – windows could only be installed after a tribute was paid to the duke. Therefore, less wealthy residents had one or two windows on the street side. source - link.

The main street that leads to the Island Castle today is lined with colourful wooden houses, that are typical for Karaims. These houses usually have three windows in the front; it’s believed that the first one is for God, the second for the host and the third one for guests. source - link.
