Olavinlinna

Olavinlinna


Built in 1475, Olavinlinna Castle is a solid testament to the colorful history of the borderlands. Over the centuries, the stone castle built on an island has served as both a bone of contention between East and West and a magnificent place for celebrations. Today, it is a unique cultural destination where you can wander along the narrow, dark corridors, peer through the loopholes of the cannon towers and sense the authentic atmosphere of times gone by.

The castle's own exhibitions delve into the fascinating stages of the building and life inside the walls. We highly recommend taking a guided tour, as the stories told by expert guides really bring the thick stone walls to life. Olavinlinna is a historical gem that is sure to leave a lasting impression!
