Stone shots.
Evidence of the numerous raids on Lida Castle is a large number of shots of various sizes made of limestone and granite. Their diameter ranges from 7-9 to 34 cm. The shots date from the end of the XIV- middle of the XVII century. They are mostly cannon-type, but some, especially large ones, could have been intended for stone fougasses.
Reconstruction of the warrior's armor of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (early XV century). Helmet “bascinet” with a visor “dog's face”, an aventail, a chain mail, shoulder pads, gauntlets, "Gauntlet" gloves, sollerets and sabatons. The armor weighed 25-35 kg, its weight was distributed throughout the body, so it did not interfere with the knight's free movement, as well as mounting his horse on his own.
Reconstruction of a Gothic half-armor. Salade (helmet) and a sparrow's beak visor, cuirass, shoulder pads, gauntlets, gorget. At the end of the XV - the first half of the XVI centuries, salades were quite popular in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
