Facts and practical information

Hakoinen Castle is the ruins of a fortification on a hill in Janakkala, Finland. Dated to the medieval period, the fortification was situated on a very steep-sided rock by Lake Kernaala in a manner reminiscent of the hill fort tradition. The top of the rock is 63 metres above the water level of the lake. Today very little remains of the castle. Equally little is known about its origins. ()
