The building of Olavinlinna (Castle of St. Olaf) began in 1475. The Danish-born founder of the castle, knight Erik Axelsson Tott, decided that a powerful fortification should be build to protect the strategically important Savo region. The history of Olavinlinna is a mixture of medieval arms clashing, cannons roaring and every-day chores inside the security of the castle's thick walls.
Around the Castle are vital and quite important legends. The most well known story tells of a young girl who was buried alive in the stone walls of the castle for treason. Later a beautiful plant grew in the place where the girl was found dead. The rowan tree was a white color which symbolized her innocence with its red fruit symbolizing the blood of a virgin.
