Olavinlinna Castle
Olavinlinna (St. Olaf's Castle) is a 15th-century three-tower stone fortress built on an island in the Kyrönsalmi strait at Savonlinna, Finland. Founded in 1475 and completed around the end of the 15th century, it retains its medieval tower-and-curtain-wall form and today houses exhibitions and cultural events.

As it stood in 1495
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact, truncated-rhomboid island fortress of roughly grey fieldstone with three dominant cylindrical keep towers on the western side, each topped by a brick upper course and low conical metal roofs with finials. Long curtain walls extend eastward between additional round outer towers; walls show small rectangular gun- and arrow-slits. The castle sits directly on a bare, sloping granite outcrop rising from the lake, the stonework varying from rough boulders to dressed masonry.
