Turku Castle is one of the most remarkable public medieval castles in Finland. From time to time he played a big role in the history of Sweden and the countries of northern Europe. Initially, the Swedish king ordered the construction, in all likelihood, at the end of the 13th century, on the site of the future castle, a fortified camp, after Varsinais-Suomi (southwestern part of Finland) became part of the Swedish kingdom. The castle was expanded several times in the Middle Ages and later, in the 16th century, during the Renaissance. At the beginning of the new time, as a result of changes caused by military events taking place in Europe, medieval castles lost their significance. Since the end of the 16th century, Turku Castle has been used primarily as a prison and storehouse. And since the end of the XIX century served as a museum.
Currently, Turku Castle is one of the most important monuments of the history of construction in Finland. The historical museum of the city of Turku, subordinated to the District Museum of Turku, functions in the premises of the castle. The café-restaurant of the castle front organizes, among other things, medieval feasts for visitors.
