Sibbesborg, Medieval castle ruins in Sipoo, Finland

The remaining earth walls of Sibbesborg stand on a forested hill that was once an island before geological changes connected it to mainland Finland.

Built in the late 14th century using bricks and wood, the castle served as a strategic defensive structure monitoring activities in the surrounding region.

The archaeological site forms part of the Sipoo River Valley agricultural landscape, reflecting the historical settlement patterns of medieval Finnish communities.

Visitors can explore the site through walking paths, with an estimated visit duration of thirty minutes to observe the castle wall remnants.

Post-glacial rebound transformed the castle's original island location into a mainland position, altering its defensive characteristics over centuries.
