We had to stay in Turku, in southwestern Finland, for several days as we were sheltering from a storm in our boat. Among other places I had a chance to visit the Turku Castle again after many years – what a magnificent medieval castle! It is not only a never-ending walk to go through the whole place but it also has some interesting historical pieces in addition to the jaw-dropping dioramas of the long construction of the castle.
Construction started in the 13th century and its only “combat” was in 1318 when the Novgorodians sacked Turku…
A grapeshot below? That thing flying at you must have been a terrible sight!
It was one heck of a walk I have to admit, endless corridors with a lot of low ceilings.
