Karaim houses in Trakai always have three windows.

The Karaim, a small Turkic-speaking people, were brought from Crimea by Grand Duke Vytautas around 1400 to guard his castle. Their wooden houses on Karaimų street turn their gable to the street with three windows: one for God, one for the family and one for Vytautas, as the saying goes.
