Kastelholm Castle (Swedish: Kastelholms slott) is a castle in the Sund of Åland. It started to be built in the late 14th century, and became the administrative center of Åland in the early 15th century. The castle held its position until 1634, when Åland was annexed to Turku county in the county reform. After this, the castle quickly fell into disrepair, and after the fire in 1745, the castle was no longer used as a grain store. The first conservation of the ruins was done in the 1890s and scientific documentation in the 1960s. The north wing, which served as a warehouse, was taken over as a museum already in the 1930s.


[FIN] Tämmöisen puisen pienoismallin Kastelholman linnast on joku tuntematon väkertänyt. Tämmönen oli kun 1800 luvulla joutui huonoon hoitoon koko paikka. Perunakellarina pitivät.

Kastelholman linna (ruots. Kastelholms slott) on linna Ahvenanmaan Sundissa. Sitä alettiin rakentaa 1300-luvun loppupuolella, ja siitä tuli Ahvenanmaan hallintokeskus 1400-luvun alussa. Linna piti asemansa vuoteen 1634, jolloin Ahvenanmaa liitettiin lääniuudistuksessa Turun lääniin. Tämän jälkeen linna rappeutui nopeasti, ja vuoden 1745 tulipalon jälkeen linnaa käytettiin enää viljavarastona. Raunioiden ensimmäiset konservoinnit tehtiin 1890-luvulla ja tieteelliset dokumentoinnit 1960-luvulla. Museoksi varastona toiminut pohjoissiipi otettiin jo 1930-luvulla.
