Building of the fortress first began in 1748 when Finland was under Swedish rule. Its purpose was to strengthen Sweden’s defences in the Baltic Sea after Sweden had suffered areal losses to the Russian Empire in years prior. The long history of Suomenlinna can be divided into three distinct eras. Between 1748 and 1808 both Finland and the fortress were under Swedish rule. In 1808, however, Sweden lost the fortress to the Russian Empire in the Russo-Swedish war. Between 1808 and 1918 Finland and the fortress were therefore occupied and ruled by the Russian Imperial Government. During the Russian era Suomenlinna was poorly taken care of due to lack of funding but the fortress continued to serve as a strategic location in the defence of its new masters. With the Russian Revolution and Finland’s independence efforts taking place in 1917, Suomenlinna entered its third era to date as the newly founded Finnish Government took over Suomenlinna in 1918. Today, Suomenlinna is an important historical site, popular tourist destination, and has been on the UNESCO’s World Heritage List since 1991. Modern Suomenlinna is also the home to around 800 permanent residents. 1748 edvinpohto Site 523 09/05/2022 05/09/2022 03:47:16 pm https://www.suomenlinna.fi/en/fortress/ cm x cm x cm The Governing Body of Suomenlinna current,60.14603397493638,24.987699497141875; twitter,https://twitter.com/SuomenlinnaWHS;facebook,https://www.facebook.com/Suomenlinna;instagram,https://www.instagram.com/suomenlinnaofficial/; Building 00190 Helsinki, Suomi 913 The Governing Body of Suomenlinna edvin.pohto@live.fi Suomenlinna Sea Fortress https://www.suomenlinna.fi/en/ TEXT
