If the enemy was approaching the castle, you could lower a lattice gate from the porter's lodge to seal off the gateway and keep the unwanted guests outside. The defenses were upgraded during the 14th and 15th centuries. When Gustav Vasa became the king of Sweden, and his son John ruled over Finland, the main part of the castle was extended immensely.

The castle was originally meant to be a defense point for Turku, but it has only been in use once, for defensing purposes. That was when our neighbor country Russia invaded Turku from Novgorod in the year 1318. The castle really achieved peace after the late 16th century. The wooden structure of the main castle was almost completely destroyed in a burn in 1614 and then later in 1941 a Russian bomb hit the main castle. The castle serves multiple purposes, for example, you can rent a briefing room. Finland's president visits this place often, and some of his speeches are being held here.
