Korsholm Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Vaasa, Finland.
The remnants of Korsholm Castle consist of a low mound where the original fortress once stood during the medieval period in Finland.
Construction of Korsholm Castle began in the 1370s, potentially starting as a wooden fortification surrounded by a protective moat system.
The castle site, recognized as a registered archaeological location, represents an important piece of Finnish medieval military architecture and Baltic maritime control.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site by following the marked paths near the historical district of Vaasa, where information panels explain the castle's layout.
The fortress served as a base for the Victual Brothers pirates, with their leader Otte von Peccatel controlling operations from this strategic Baltic Sea location.
