Biržai Castle is a 16th-century castle in Biržai, northern Lithuania, in the Aukštaitija region. Construction of the earth bastion-type castle began in 1586 under Krzysztof "Piorun" Radziwiłł, and it was the first Italian-style bastion fort in Lithuania and one of the first in North-Eastern Europe. Restored in 2013, it now houses a museum, a library and a restaurant.
