This castle-like construction was the home and studio of artist Akseli Gallen-Kallela.
Now it is a museum dedicated to his work.
A wonderful fantasy retreat.
Don't misunderstand: Finland is not awash with castles all over the place. It's just that Phespirit happened to visit a few nice ones while he was there .....
..... like Häme Castle in Hämeenlinna.
This is the oldest and best: the magnificent Turku Castle, founded in 1280 at the mouth of the Aurajoki in Turku, which itself is both the oldest city and first capital of Finland.
Historic stuff.
