Mantereenlinna, Medieval fortress ruins in Hämeenlinna, Finland.
The stone walls and gate structures of Mantereenlinna stand atop a hill rising 50 meters above Lake Katumajärvi in eastern Hämeenlinna.
The fortress, constructed with protective stone walls and gates, dates back to the Viking Age between 800-1000 CE during conflicts with Novgorod and Karelian forces.
Archaeological studies of Mantereenlinna since 1886 have contributed to understanding Finnish defensive architecture and military strategies from the Iron Age period.
Visitors can access the ruins through paths starting from the Hämeenlinna-Turenki road, with the northern gate restored in 1973 for better viewing.
The fortress area spans 200 by 100 meters on the hilltop, featuring two stone walls with preserved gate openings along its western edge.
