The Raseborg Castle was built in the 1370s as the administrative centre of Western Uusimaa, and it has been one of the most important seats of royal power in Finland after the Turku and Vyborg Castles. Life in the castle has varied from the everyday of a simple administrative centre to glorious court life. There are several information boards around the castle that tell the long and varied history of the medieval fortress. In the summer, various events are organised in the grass field in front of the castle ruins, and the Raseborg Summer Theatre is also active in the area. One of the oldest tourist facilities in Finland still operates in the castle yard. The Slottsknekten’s hut, which currently serves as a restaurant, was opened in 1893 under the name of “Turistimaja” (Tourist Hut). The castle ruins are an excellent destination for history lovers and the whole family. The castle and its walking routes are easy to explore, but there are some steep stairs and uneven spots inside the castle that are not suitable for people with reduced mobility. The castle is accessible up to the courtyard.
