Kuusisto Castle - Southwestern Finland

Details: 25 August 2016

Kuusisto Castle was a medieval episcopal castle on an island of Kuusisto in Kaarina, Finland, Turku archipelago. The castle was built in the early 14th century, although the site seems to have been bishop's residence already in the 1290s.

The castle was ordered to be demolished during the Protestant Reformation in 1528 by the king Gustav I (Gustav Vasa) of Sweden. Excavation and reconstruction work on the remaining ruins began in 1891.
