Hämeenlinna, Finland - 30th April 2012

By: emmakko

Today was a warm and sunny day (the warmest day of this spring) so my host took me and her sister's TV Konsta to see the historical part of Hämeenlinna.
Häme castle is the most famous sight in Hämeenlinna. It was built at the end of the 13th century. Today the castle is a tourist sight and a museum but can you imagine, this castle has also been a prison!

The castle is located by the lake Vanajavesi. The park that is located by the castle is so nice and many people come here to walk, relax or enjoy the view.

Also the prison museum and the artillery museum of Hämeenlinna are located next to the Häme castle. As they aren't so girly sights we decided to not visit them. But we took a couple of photos of the artillery museum anyway.

The weather was so fine that Konsta and I just decided to sit on the bench and enjoy the sunshine.
