Raseborg Castle

Raseborg Castle is a medieval stone castle in Raseborg, Finland, founded in the late 14th century and active from the 1370s until its abandonment in 1553. The plan is roughly D-shaped with a large round donjon at the curved end, a straight keep, inner bailey and multiple outer walls; today the site survives as exposed stone ruins open to the public.

As it stood in 1520

The shape it held in its prime.

A D-shaped medieval fortress of rough grey-brown fieldstone with a prominent, thick-walled round donjon at one corner and the straight keep forming the flat side. Curtain walls of irregular masonry enclose an inner bailey, with remains of outer walls and a low square tower visible. Narrow vertical slits and small arched openings puncture the walls. The site sits on a grassy, rocky knoll that was once a small island/peninsula; wooden walkways and a bridge lead to the entrance in later additions.
