Raaseporin linna

Raaseporin linna is a medieval castle in Tammisaari, Finland. The castle was built in the 14th century to protect Sweden's interests in southern Finland. Multiple battles were fought between Swedish and Danish forces and even pirates over the control of the castle in the Middle Ages. The castle was abandoned in the 1550's after losing strategic importance. Restoration work began in the 1890's and these days the castle ruins are open to the public.
