| Abstract [eng] |
The castle is often seen as one of the key, next to the church and the city, the medieval society of that time and spatial structure of representative. First of all, the castle must begin to understand not as a static object, but the constantly changing dynamic phenomenon in a broad socioeconomical and sociopolitical context. It is the context of realizing often allows to see some hard-identified fractures of the same phenomenon within it self. On the other hand, the social transformation, formed a political conjuncture state often leads to the castle changes of it self. On the other hand, the internal imbalances of GDL structure, which could be interpreted as the spatial-regional-administrative state heterogeneous concepts, and the correlation of social forms, the genesis and formation, the interpretation of the different historical experiences, as well as a review of several heterogeneous civilization ways. Thus, the heterogeneity of the GDL raises new questions and problems, trying to explain the structural features of the castle as a phenomenon of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. All this allows us to formulate the castle as a structural variable, often related by various socioeconomic sociopolitical changes, a phenomenon of the concept, content and form of a difference between European and regional context in its development path, and in certain social forms, which often reflects the same state, in our case, GDL, architecture features. At the same time, the identification of different regions of castles similarities enable the search for common points of a European castle in structured source and process of change. Consequently, the castle phenomenon can be interpreted and understood as a certain socio-economic transformation of the structures and sociopolitical outcome and reflection. Transformations of the castle was directly determinated of the specific space and time sociopolitical circumstances. Thus, the obvious is the castle as a phenomenon of multifunctionality; changing the established juncture, changed castle purpose and function. Constant transformation took place in the castle in social and in spatial-infrastructural level. The results of this process were qualitatively new sociopolitical and state formation. |
