Brahelinna, Castle ruins in Ristiina, Mikkeli, Finland.
The stone foundations of Brahelinna stand near the cemetery in Linnaniemi, marking the location of a former administrative building from the 1600s.
Count Per Brahe the Younger, Governor General of Finland, constructed Brahelinna castle mansion in the 17th century to serve as a regional administrative center.
The ruins connect to Finland's period of Swedish governance, reflected in its alternate name Braheslott, demonstrating the region's multilingual administrative history.
Visitors can reach the ruins by traveling 23 kilometers from Mikkeli along Lappeenrannantie to Ristiina, with parking available at the nearby cemetery.
Materials from the original castle structure were later extracted and repurposed for other construction projects throughout the surrounding region.
