Junkarsborg, Medieval hillfort on river island in Raseborg, Finland
The rectangular earthen walls of Junkarsborg stand on a forested island in the middle of the Svartå river, marking its medieval defensive position.
Archaeological findings indicate that Junkarsborg operated from the early 14th century until the 15th century before the construction of Raseborg Castle.
The site maintains its status as a Cultural Heritage Site of National Significance, preserving remnants of Finnish medieval military architecture.
Visitors need to access the archaeological site by foot, as the fortress remains are located on an isolated island requiring walking paths.
Multiple excavations between 1891 and 1954 revealed coins from the late 14th century, providing exact dating evidence of the fortress occupation.
