Pilėnai (also Pillenen in German) was a hill fort in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Its location is unknown and is subject to academic debates, but it is well known in the history of Lithuania due to its heroic defense against the Teutonic Order in 1336. Attacked by a large Teutonic force, the fortress, commanded by Duke Margiris, tried in vain to organize a defense against the larger and stronger invader. Losing hope, the defenders decided to burn their property and commit mass suicide to deprive the Order of prisoners and loot (cf. scorched earth). This dramatic episode from the Lithuanian Crusade has caught the public imagination, inspired many works of fiction, and became a symbol of Lithuanian struggles and resistance. (en) Pilėnai (Pillenen in tedesco) era una fortezza di collina nel Granducato della Lituania la cui esatta ubicazione è sconosciuta ed è oggetto di dibattiti accademici: ciononostante, è ben nota nella storia della Lituania per via dell'eroica difesa contro l'ordine teutonico avvenuta nel 1336. Attaccata da un folto contingente di cavalieri tedeschi, la fortezza, facente capo al principe Margiris, tentò di allestire invano un'adeguata difesa contro gli attaccanti. Esaurita ogni altra opzione disponibile, i difensori decisero di bruciare le loro proprietà e suicidarsi tutti piuttosto che consegnarsi ai nemici o concedere del bottino. L'episodio, avvenuto nel corso della crociata lituana, ha suscitato l'interesse di vari autori, ispirando molte opere di finzione e diventando un simbolo delle lotte e della resistenza dei lituani, soprattutto nel periodo del risveglio nazionale.
