Haapaniemi Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Salo, Finland

The stone basement with arched architecture remains as the last standing element of the former Haapaniemi manor house near the Finnish coastline.

Built between 1450 and 1525 by nobleman Henrik Klaunpoika Horn, the castle later passed to the Fleming family before suffering destruction during conflicts from 1713 to 1721.

The Finnish Heritage Agency recognizes Haapaniemi Castle as a Cultural Heritage Site of National Significance, representing medieval architectural traditions in Finland.

Located at Haapaniementie 53-123 in Salo, the archaeological site offers visitors insights into Finnish medieval construction techniques and military defense strategies.

The property transferred to Fiskars Ironworks in 1737, connecting this medieval structure to one of Finland's oldest industrial enterprises.
