Junkarsborg
Raseborg, Finland
Junkarsborg was a medieval castle located in Karis, Raseborg, Finland, likely built in the early 14th century and used until the early 15th century.
It served as a predecessor to the nearby Castle of Raseborg and was strategically placed on a forested island in the Svartå river. Archaeological excavations have uncovered coins and artifacts dating from the late 14th century, indicating its period of use.
Today, only rectangular earth walls remain, and the site is accessible on foot following improvements made to the access path. Its history is closely linked to the development of medieval fortifications in the region, marking an important early defensive site before the construction of the more prominent Raseborg Castle nearby.
