The medieval castle castle in Turku has undergone extensive rebuilding since being damaged by Russian warship bombardment in 1941 (Finland fought alongside Germany in WW2, but their forces remained independent of Hitler's command. Finland was primarily in a battle with Russia, which resulted in a considerable portion of Finland being annexed by Russia).
The renovation has been expertly completed to provide a fascinating story about medieval life inside the castle.
