Örön linnake, Coastal fort in Kimitoön, Finland.
The fort contains military structures including barracks, Obukhov guns, defense positions, and fortifications spread across the island in the Archipelago Sea National Park.
Construction of Örön linnake began in 1915 as part of the Russian Empire's Peter the Great Maritime Fortress, featuring multiple artillery batteries and infrastructure.
The Finnish Heritage Agency recognizes this fort among 1200 nationally significant heritage sites, preserving Finland's architectural and military history.
Access to the island requires boat transportation through the guest harbor, with marked hiking trails extending between 6 and 11 kilometers for exploration.
The military presence for over a century created an unexpected sanctuary, making the site one of Southern Finland's primary locations for endangered species.
