Häme Castle, Medieval castle in Linnanniemi, Finland.
The red brick castle features high walls, five original turrets, and a central keep surrounded by curtain walls near Lake Vanajavesi.
Dating back to the 13th century, this castle served as a military fortress between Sweden and Novgorod, later becoming a residence for Swedish nobility.
The National Museum of Finland maintains permanent exhibitions about regional history, including The Riches of Häme collection with historical armory displays.
The castle opens daily during summer months from 11 AM to 4 PM, with adult tickets costing 14 euros and children aged 7-17 paying 7 euros.
The fortress structure combines masoned granite in its lower sections with red brickwork above, standing at 93 meters above sea level.
