Why Kastelholm Castle matters
Kastelholm is a medieval stone castle on the shore of a bay on the main island of Åland. It has seen kings and prisoners alike, and its rooms and courtyard hold a museum. Next door, an open-air museum shows how island farmers lived in the past. It makes a rewarding day by bike or bus from Mariehamn.
