Tott in 1475. The castle withstood several attacks by Russians during the First and Second Russian-Swedish wars between 1741 and 1790 . Finland was under Swedish rule from the 13th Century to the 18th century, and thus it was the first Swedish castle that could withstand cannon fire. St Olaf’s castle was purposely built in an area of lakes and waterways to deter a Russian offensive. Currently the three tower castle is in excellent condition, housing exhibitions and a Castle Museum. The internationally acclaimed Savonlinna Opera Festival has been held there since 1912. Text /Photo: Eero Sorila With passion, Eero Sorila has photographed castles around the world. His photo book CASTLES OLD AND NEW will be available in Jan. / Feb. 2012.To order, visit www.xlibris.com/bookstore or call 888-795-4274 ext. 7879 |

| NEW, FREE SERVICE TO SWAP USED BOOKS IN FINNISH In Oct. 2011, Finnishedbooks.com was launched. It is a free service for buying and selling Finnish books, movies and music. The website is geared towards all Finnish-speakers in the United States. The website was developed by Antti Koskenrouta, a Washington, DC based web developer. When adding a new book for sale, the user enters the book’s ISBN number on the page. Based on the ISBN, the system attempts to retrieve the basic information on the book (title, author) and a picture of the cover. The user can also add the back cover text as well as their own description on the book. Each seller sets the prices for their products, but the idea is that they would be nominal. The transactions take place between the buyer and seller. That’s why there are no commissions on the sales. |
