Husholmen Castle, Medieval hillfort in Yliken kylä, Finland.

The archaeological remains of Husholmen Castle include defensive structures and fortifications situated on an elevated position near Porvoo's coastal area.

The medieval castle site, constructed during Finland's Swedish rule period between 1150 and 1323, served as a strategic point for regional defense.

Archaeological excavations at Husholmen Castle have revealed artifacts that demonstrate the medieval military and administrative practices in Finnish territories.

The archaeological site maintains protective barriers and designated pathways to ensure preservation while allowing researchers and visitors to examine the ruins.

Husholmen Castle represents one of the few remaining hillforts from Finland's medieval period that combines coastal defense with administrative functions.
