During theLithuanian Civil War (1381–1384),Jogaila, Algirdas's son, arrested and imprisoned his uncleKęstutis and cousinVytautas in the Kreva Castle in 1382. One week later, Kęstutis was found dead. Whether he died of natural causes or was murdered is still a matter of debate. His son, Vytautas, however, escaped from Kreva and fled to theTeutonic Order.
TheUnion of Krewo (Act of Krewo), the firststep towards thePolish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, was signed in the castle three years later. The castle was sacked by theCrimean Tatars in the early 16th century and stood unoccupied for a long time. By the 19th century, much of the walls had crumbled away.World War I dealt a final blow to the decaying structure, since the castle stood on the front line between Russian and German armed forces. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the ruins were partially conserved, particularly by Poland in 1929. However, the monument has been decaying ever since.
