Some shots from inside Olavinlinna. #Olavinlinna #Savonlinna #Finland #Photography #Castles #Medieval
A typical cold, dim stone hallway inside a medieval castle, lit only by pale light seeping through windowless openings. In winter, it’s unreasonably cold; in summer, hot as hell. People in the old days really had it rough. A view through one of the rocky, moss-covered openings in the hallway. The inner courtyard and the castle wall are visible. Several oddly sized doors line a stairway leading up to the wall’s middle walking part… which, according to Google, is called an “allure.” A photo of the stairway leading up to the wall with its strange five doors. The gray-green brick wall has patches of moss to give it “character.” The differently sized doorways (some of which might technically be called something else) are framed with arches of orange brick that have more or less held their color. Each doorway has a dark brown wooden door, and the stairway’s railing matches in a similar shade. As pictures go, some might find this one boring, but I find these weird doors absolutely fascinating. I really should look into what their purpose was – especially the big one that doesn’t really connect with the stairs. I mean… you could launch something out of it. Like a cow with a catapult? Stairs, railings, and walls of the castle. The photo shows stairways leading to different levels along the castle wall. It’s a very brown and gray scene, with patches of green moss adding a bit of life. Only a small modern “WC” sign at the bottom of the wall breaks the otherwise Dark Souls–like vibe of the picture.

Medieval accommodations in Olavinlinna. Naturally, the hole leads into the castle’s inner courtyard... #Olavinlinna #Savonlinna #Finland #Photography #Castles #Medieval
A small, barely lit alcove inside a medieval castle that serves as an indoor bathroom. Each moss-covered stone wall has a tiny open window. In the alcove, there’s a raised wooden seat with a bum-sized hole and a matching wooden lid – possibly used to partially drown out the protestations of the peasants below.
