Turku Castle, Medieval castle and museum in Turku, Finland.
The castle features a massive stone keep with forty rooms and a Renaissance bailey surrounded by five-meter-thick defensive walls at their base.
The construction of Turku Castle began in 1280 when Swedish rulers established a military fortress at the mouth of the Aura River.
The castle includes exhibitions displaying medieval artifacts, royal chambers, and detailed presentations of Finnish life from different historical periods.
Visitors can explore the castle through guided tours from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM, with limited wheelchair access.
