This park covers a large area around the city centre, so it is not appropriate to put a street address.

We have been to Hämeenlinna many times and mostly our visit was limited to Häme castle and centre. But our friends (who had moved here) took us around this area and that is when we realized that there is more in Hämeenlinna than just the castle. We were so surprised that we planned our next visit and stayed in a hotel just to explore the city and surrounding region. This regions has something to offer to people of all ages and preference. The options include golf course, nature trail, forests, lake, parks, adventure, observation tower, boat riding and so on. The area can be easily explored by car or bicycle.

Hame Castle

Häme Castle is one of Finland's medieval royal castles. It is believed to have been built at the end of the 13th century, following the crusade by Swedish Earl Birger to Häme region. During the Middle Ages the original fortified camp was built into a residential castle for its commandant. In the 18th century a third storey was built and curtain wall buildings partly replaced the original outer walls. The castle and its surroundings were in prison use from 1837 to 1972. The main castle is now presented as a historical monument. The Häme Castle and its redbrick barracks are on the shore of Lake Vanajavesi. The promontary has been a meeting place for centuries, and the walls almost echo the voices from the Middle Ages.

Häme Castle is beautiful castle right next to lake Vanaja. Guided tour is included to the price and with great guides you will definitely get most of the castles histories and stories. There are also nice events during the year for example Buhurt battles and Horse Tournament. Häme Medieval festival is also in august in the castle and its surroundings. There is also different workshops during the events and also to groups. Those are nice and fun way to learn about history. Restaurant is open in summer times and other times of the year you can order lunch or dinner to groups. I have visited this place several times and it is always interesting and every time I learn something new!
