Oulu Castle was a late
defence castle in Oulu, Finland. It was built on an island in the
delta of Oulu River in 1590. The castle was mostly made of wood and
earth walls. There probably was an earlier medieval castle on the
same site latest by 1375. The Russian Sophia Chronicle has recorded
that men from Novgorod tried to conquer a new castle in the Oulu
River delta in 1377 but were unsuccessful.
The present-day ruins remain from an even later castle, which was
built in 1605. The castle was badly damaged in 1715, when Russian
forces burned it. Final destruction took place in 1793, when
lightning set the other one of the powder magazines on fire.
Wooden constructions on the remaining powder magazine date from
1875 when the Oulu School of Sea Captains built their observatory
on the site. The building has been a cafeteria since 1912 with a
small exhibition on the castle history.
