Kokemäki Castle
Kokemäki, Finland
Kokemäki Castle was likely completed around 1324–25 on Linnaluoto Island in the Kokemäenjoki River as an important administrative center for the historical province of Satakunta in Finland.
The castle was demolished in 1367 by order of King Albert after local residents complained about the heavy taxes required for its upkeep. Kokemäki itself is one of Finland’s oldest towns, with history possibly dating back to the 12th century or earlier, and was closely linked to early Swedish rule in the region. The area is notable for archaeological finds, including some of the oldest known stone carvings in Finland.
The castle site no longer stands but remains a significant part of the area’s medieval history, reflecting the region’s role in administration and defense during that period.
