Pasilan kivilinna, Stone castle construction in North Pasila, Finland.
Pasilan kivilinna is a stone castle in North Pasila made from massive stones weighing several tons each. The structure contains various interior spaces including a prison cell, small arches, and a four-meter-deep cellar within its stone walls.
Construction of this stone castle began in 1995 by Kati Sinenmaa after leaving Helsinki University. The project developed without modern machinery, representing an unusual approach to building in contemporary times.
The structure includes specific architectural elements such as a prison cell, small arches, and a four-meter-deep cellar within its stone walls.
The stone castle is surrounded by a steel fence and access is restricted by the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency. Visitors must obtain permission beforehand to enter the site.
Sinenmaa moved ton-heavy stones alone using only basic tools like shovels and crowbars. Wooden planks and metal pipes served as her only equipment for transporting massive stones across the site.
