Castle of Raseborg (Swedish: Raseborg slott, Finnish: Raaseporin linna). A medieval castle buildt at 14th century. Probably buildt for being an area of trade, the castle was originally located on an island but because of the post-glacial rebound it's now inland.

Entrance to the castle is free and open all year round 24h/day. In the summer guided tours can be taken for a small fee.

The castle is located in Snappertuna village of Ekenäs city. A youth hostel is located nearby.
