スオメンリンナの要塞は、フィンランドの首都ヘルシンキ市内の6つの島の上に建造された海防要塞。ユネスコの世界遺産に登録されており、観光客のみでなく、地元民にとっても、美しい行楽地として人気がある。当初の名前はスヴェアボリ（Sveaborg, スウェーデンの要塞）だったが、1918年に愛国主義的な理由からスオメンリンナ（スオミの城塞）と改称された。これは、星型要塞の一例である。1748年にスウェーデン＝フィンランドはロシア帝国に対する守りを目的として要塞の建造に着手した。総責任者に任命されたのは、Augustin Ehrensvärdであり、その当初案には当代きっての築城の名手ヴォーバンの思想の強い影響が見られた。島の要塞自体に加えて、本土の臨海要塞群が足がかりとなる海岸堡を築けないようにしていた。また、計画には駐留スウェーデン海軍とフィンランド分遣隊全体の軍需品の備蓄も盛り込まれていた。フィンランド戦争中の1808年5月3日に要塞はロシア軍に占領され、1809年のロシア軍によるフィンランド占領の足がかりとなった。この時には実害がほとんどなかったが、1855年のクリミア戦争のときには、イギリス海軍とフランス海軍による艦隊の艦砲射撃で損害を被った。1973年には民政下に置かれ、1991年に世界遺産に登録された。
Suomenlinna (Finnish) or Sveaborg (Swedish), until 1918 Viapori (Finnish), is an inhabited sea fortress built on six islands (Kustaanmiekka, Susisaari, Iso-Mustasaari, Pikku-Mustasaari, Länsi-Mustasaari and Långören) and which now forms part of the city of Helsinki, the capital of Finland. Suomenlinna is a UNESCO World Heritage site and popular with tourists and locals, who enjoy it as a picturesque picnic site. Originally named Sveaborg (Fortress of Svea), or Viapori as called by Finnish-speaking Finns, it was renamed Suomenlinna (Castle of Finland) in 1918 for patriotic and nationalistic reasons, though it is sometimes known by its original name. The Swedish crown commenced the construction of the fortress in 1748 as protection against Russian expansionism. The general responsibility for the fortification work was given to Augustin Ehrensvärd. The original plan of the bastion fortress was strongly influenced by the ideas of Vauban, the foremost military engineer of the time, and the principles of star fort style of fortification, albeit adapted to a group of rocky islands. In addition to the island fortress itself, seafacing fortifications on the mainland would ensure that an enemy would not acquire a beach-head from which to stage attacks. The plan was also to stock munitions for the whole Finnish contingent of the Swedish Army and Royal Swedish Navy there. In the Finnish War the fortress surrendered to Russia on May 3, 1808, paving the way for the occupation of Finland by Russian forces in 1809.

Suomenlinna (Finnish) or Sveaborg (Swedish), until 1918 Viapori (Finnish), is an inhabited sea fortress built on six islands (Kustaanmiekka, Susisaari, Iso-Mustasaari, Pikku-Mustasaari, Länsi-Mustasaari and Långören) and which now forms part of the city of Helsinki, the capital of Finland.

Suomenlinna is now one of the most popular tourist attractions in Helsinki as well as a popular picnicking spot for the city's inhabitants. On a sunny summer day the islands, and in particular the ferries, can get quite crowded. In 2009, a record 713,000 people visited Suomenlinna, most between May and September. A number of museums exist on the island, as well as the last surviving Finnish submarine, Vesikko.
Suomenlinna has always been much more than just a part of Helsinki — it is a town within the town. There are about 900 permanent inhabitants on the islands, and 350 people work there year round. This is one of the features that makes Suomenlinna unique: the fortress is not simply a museum but a living community.
There is a minimum-security penal labor colony (Finnish: työsiirtola) in Suomenlinna, whose inmates work on the maintenance and reconstruction of the fortifications. Only volunteer inmates who pledge non-use of controlled substances are accepted to the labour colony.
For the general public, Suomenlinna is served by ferries all year, and a service tunnel supplying heating, water and electricity was built in 1982. From the beginning of the 1990s, the tunnel was modified so that it can also be used for emergency transport.
Suomenlinna has been known as an avant-garde location for culture. In the mid-1980s the Nordic Arts Centre was established on the island. Several buildings have been converted into artists' studios, which are let by the administration at reasonable rates. During the summer there is an art school for children. The performances of the Suomenlinna summer theatre regularly draw full houses.

Suomenlinna was accepted into the list of UNESCO's world cultural heritage sites in 1991. The cultural heritage sites in the world heritage list are either masterpieces of human creativity or exceptionally significant proof of existing or long-gone cultures. Suomenlinna Sea Fortress, built on the islands on the coast of Helsinki, is just that -- a significant proof of historical events and human effort.
In 1748, work on the fortress was begun with the financial support of France, Sweden's ally. The best-known monuments in Viapori from the time of the Swedish rule are the Castle Courtyard with the tomb of Augustin Ehrensvärd, the Ehrensvärd Museum , the King's Gate, the crownwork Ehrensvärd and the church.
Today, Suomenlinna is the living and working community of nearly 900 people. The old barracks have been and still are renovated into modern homes -- homes, whose wall and ceiling structures still echo the historical background of the building and the architecture of its time.
Traffic to Suomenlinna is handled via a regular, around-the-year ferry connection, which departures from the middle of Helsinki. The nature in the archipelago off Helsinki and Suomenlinna is special. The surrounding sea and the changing seasons affect the flora and bird population of the archipelago nature.

Suomenlinna is an inhabited sea fortress built on six islands off the town of Helsinki. Suomenlinna is a UNESCO World Heritage site and popular with tourists and locals, who enjoy it as a picturesque picnic site.
Sweden started building the fortress as protection against Russian expansionism in 1748, when Finland was still a part of the Swedish kingdom. The general responsibility for the gigantic fortification work was given to Augustin Ehrensvärd (1710-1772). The plan was to stock munitions for the whole Finnish contingent of the Swedish Army and Royal Swedish Navy there.
In the Finnish War the fortress surrendered to Russia in1808, paving the way for the occupation of Finland by Russian forces in 1809. After taking over the fortress, the Russians started an extensive building programme. The fortress and its surrounding islands became part of Peter the Great's naval fortification designed to safeguard the capital, Saint Petersburg.
Suomenlinna has always been much more than just a part of Helsinki — it is a town within the town. There are about 900 permanent inhabitants on the islands, and 350 people work there year round.

Pikkuvihan aikaan hattujen sodassa Ruotsi menetti 1741-1743 Venäjälle Haminan rajalinnoituksen. Tämän seurauksena Helsinkiin ryhdyttiin rakentamaan uutta merilinnoitusta Sveaborgia eli nykyistä Suomenlinnaa. Viaporin suunnitteli kreivi Augustin Ehrensvärd s. 25.9.1710 Fullerössä Ruotsissa ja kuoli 4.10.1772 Mynämäellä Suomessa. Työt aloitettiin Susiluodoilla 1748, mutta 1750 hyväksyttiin uusi ohjelma. Ehrensvärdin suunnitelman mukaan linnoitukseen kuului kaksi osaa: Susisaaren ja Ison Mustasaaren muodostama päälinnoitus sekä sitä ympäröivät ulkolinnoitukset. Eteläisimmälle Susiluodolle Kustaanmiekkaan valmistui komea Kuninkaanportti (1753-54). Ehrensvärdin luovuttua töiden johdosta 1771 Jacob Magnus Sprengtporten laati töiden jatkamiseksi uuden suunnitelman, jonka Kustaa III hyväksyi 1774. Vuosien 1788-90 sotaan mennessä työt olivat edistyneet niin pitkälle, että Viapori oli linnoituksena tärkeimmiltä osiltaan valmis.

Fortress of Suomenlinna, the fortress Kaibo was built on top of the six islands of the city, the capital of Finland, Helsinki.

Observatory Hill Park, The Shipwrecked monument. Tähtitorninvuori Helsinki
Lots of angry birds...Uh.?!?!.The common swift (Apus apus) is a medium-sized bird, superficially similar to the barn swallow or house martin but somewhat larger
“Observatory Hill Park” (Helsinki Finland) was the first municipal park in the early 1900s. With its excellent views to the sea, the high hill had been part of the natural line of lookout points in ancient times.
Signal fires were once burned atop this and other hills along the coast.
The last signal fires were burned atop Observatory Hill during the Greater Wrath (Isoviha) in the 1700s.
The rocky ridge also formed part of the fortification line designed by Augustin Ehrensvärd (1710–1772) and that also included Viapori (Suomenlinna). In 1748–1750 a small fortress was built atop the hill and named Ulrikasborg (“Ulrika Fortress”) after Swedish Queen Ulrika Eleonora who ruled for just one full year (1719) before abdicating the thrown to her husband Frederick. This is where the district of Ullanlinna (Ulrikasborg in Swedish) gets its name. The fortress was dismantled during the Finnish War (1808–1809) and its stones used to help rebuild Helsinki after the Great Fire of 1808.
The observatory was designed by Carl Ludvig Engel together with Professor Argelander and completed in 1834. At the time it represented a state-of-the-art facility and served as the model for many other observatories in Europe.
The most impressive monument in the park is The Shipwrecked by Robert Stigell (1852–1907). The sculpture depicts a shipwrecked family, but from the moment it was unveiled on 18 November 1898 it was interpreted also politically. Finland at the time was suffering under Russian oppression, and the fact that the memorial was positioned facing not the sea but the West was interpreted symbolically as a cry for help.
Observatorion suunnitteli jälleenrakennusarkkitehti Engel 1834. Tähtitutkimo eli Observatorio oli omana aikanaan moderni laitos ja se toimi esikuvana monille eurooppalaisille observatorioille. Onneksi laitoksen kirjat ja havaintolaitteet olivat säilyneet Turun palossa ja ne siirrettiin Helsinkiin. Observatorion puutarhaan rakennettiin vielä 1890 erillinen tähtitorni, joka oli suunniteltu erityisesti valokuvausta varten. Tornin suunnitteli arkkitehti Gustaf Nyström (1856–1917). Komea rakennus oli kimmokkeena myös sille, että sen ympäristöön päätettiin tehdä puisto.
Tähtitieteen laitos muutti syksyllä 2009 Kumpulan kampukselle ja se yhdistettiin fysiikan laitokseen. Observatorio avautui uudelleen yliopiston tähtitieteestä kertovana museona syksyllä 2012.
Tähtitorninvuoren merkittävin veistos on Robert Stigellin (1852–1907) Haaksirikkoiset. Merihädässä olevaa perhettä esittävä patsas sai taiteilijasta riippumattomia poliittisia merkityksiä. Patsasta paljastettaessa, vuonna 1898, elettiin keskellä Venäjän sortokautta. Siksi patsas sijoitettiin mielenosoituksellisesti niin, että se ei suinkaan katsonut merelle vaan viittoi näkyvästi apua lännestä.

Suomenlinna, the biggest Sea Fortress in the World - Finland 4K Travel Channel
A visit to Helsinki should also include a visit to The Fortress of Suomenlinna. The fortress lies on a group of partly connected islands, at the entrance of Helsinki's harbor. We set sail with a small ferry boat and go ashore in a bay. Slightly uphill, we reach the bastion Höpken and enter the courtyard with the tomb of Augustin Ehrensvärd. Ehrensvärd was the builder, who began construction of the fortress in 1748.
At that time, Helsinki still belonged to Sweden. That is why they called the complex Sveaborg (Sweden castle). Peter the Great founded St. Petersburg, moving the Russian frontier closer to Sweden.
In 1788, the fortress had its first practical test during the Swedish Russian naval warfare. After the capitulation in 1808, the fortress was a navy base of the Russian Tsar empire for the next 110 years. Finland became an autonomous Russian Grand Duchy. Up to 13.000 soldiers were here at the same time. During the Crimean war in 1855, the English and French fleet fired at the fortress and damaged it. Finland attained the independence in 1917, but a civil war claimed further victims. Suomenlinna became a prison camp, where 3000 prisoners found the death.
The fortress gained once again great importance in the 2nd World War. As a base for coastal artillery, air defense and submarines, it served the Finns for national defense. After the Second World War, it lost its importance. In 1973 one transformed Suomenlinna into a museum.
Because of its well preserved military architecture, the Fortress of Suomenlinna belongs to the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage since 1991. It receives 900.000 visitors per year.
First, we visit the casemates and gun positions of Susisaari in the south of Kustaanmiekka Island. The strategic position of the fortress is amazing. But also how one used the landscape to deposit ammunition depots in the rocky subsoil and to let the gun positions disappear between the hills. Up to 900 artillery pieces were placed here.
The iconic symbol of the fortress is the King's gate. In the early days, it was the only access to the fortress and secured by a drawbridge.

Zu einem Besuchs Helsinkis gehört auch ein Besuch der Festung Suomenlinna, der Finnenburg. Sie liegt auf einer Gruppe von teils miteinander verbundenen Inseln am Eingang des Hafens von Helsinki.
Wir setzen mit einem kleinen Fährboot über und gehen in einer Bucht an Land. Über einen kleinen Anstieg erreichen wir die Bastion Höpken durch die wir den Innenhof mit dem Grabmal von Augustin Ehrensvärd betreten. Er war der Erbauer, der 1748 mit dem Bau der Festungsanlage begann. Damals gehörte Helsinki noch zu Schweden. Deshalb nannte man die Anlage Sveaborg (Schwedenburg). Peter der Große gründete St. Petersburg, wodurch die russische Grenze näher an Schweden rückte.
1788 hatte die Festung im schwedisch-russischen Seekrieg ihre erste Bewährungsprobe. 1808 erfolgte die Kapitulation und für die nächsten 110 Jahre war die Festung eine Marinebasis des russischen Zarenreiches. Finnland wurde zu einem autonomen russischen Großherzogtum. Bis zu 13.000 Soldaten waren hier gleichzeitig stationiert. 1855 während des Krimkrieges wird sie von der englischen und französischen Flotte beschossen und schwer beschädigt. 1917 erlangte Finnland die Unabhängigkeit, doch ein Bürgerkrieg forderte weitere Opfer. Suomenlinna wurde zum Gefangenenlager, in dem 3000 Gefangene den Tod fanden.
Noch einmal erlangte die Festung starke Bedeutung, nämlich im 2. Weltkrieg. Als Stützpunkt für Küstenartillerie, Luftabwehr und für U-Boote diente sie den Finnen zur nationalen Verteidigung. Nach dem 2. Weltkrieg verlor sie ihre Bedeutung und wurde 1973 in ein Museum umgestaltet.
Seit 1991 gehört die Festung Suomenlinna wegen seiner gut erhaltenen Militärarchitektur zum UNESCO Weltkulturerbe. Pro Jahr zählt sie 900.000 Besucher.
Wir gehen zuerst zu den Kasematten und Geschützstellungen von Susisaari in den Süden der Insel Kustaanmiekka. Man staunt wie genial die strategische Lage der Festung ausgewählt wurde. Aber auch wie man die Landschaft ideal nutzte, um Munitionsdepots im felsigen Untergrund anzulegen und die Geschützstellungen praktisch zwischen den Hügeln verschwinden zu lassen. Bis zu 900 Geschütze waren hier stationiert. Wahrzeichen der Festung ist das Königstor. Es war das ursprünglich der einzige Zugang zur Festung und durch eine Zugbrücke gesichert.

Suomenlinna, literal translation in Finnish is Castle of Finland and in Swedish Castle of Sweden is an inhabited sea fortress built on six islands Kustaanmiekka, Iso-Mustasaari, Pikku-Mustasaari, Länsi-Mustasaari, and Långören and which now forms part of the city of Helsinki, the capital of Finland.
Suomenlinna is a UNESCO World Heritage site and popular with tourists and locals, who enjoy it as a picturesque picnic site. Originally named Sveaborg (Fortress of Svea), or Viapori as called by Finnish-speaking Finns, it was renamed in Finnish to Suomenlinna (Castle of Finland) in 1918 for patriotic and nationalistic reasons, though it is still known by its original name in Sweden and by Swedish-speaking Finns.
