Häme Castle is one of Finland’s most significant medieval castles. Construction of the castle began in the 13th century, and its original purpose was to serve as a defensive and administrative center. The castle is built primarily of brick, which is quite rare in Finland. Later, it was also used as a prison. Today, Häme Castle serves as a museum and is a popular attraction where visitors can explore history and medieval life year-round. The castle also hosts a variety of events.
