Summary "Turun linna" by Adolf Waldemar Jahnsson is a historical account written during the mid-19th century.

It delves into the themes of power, conflict, and the transition of rule in the region, making it a comprehensive exploration of an important landmark in Finnish history. The narrative begins by recounting the construction of Turku Castle and the context of its establishment around the 12th century, during King Eerik's reign, emphasizing its role in the spread of Christianity in Finland. The book highlights the struggles for power between different factions, including the Swedes and Danes, and the internal conflicts that marked the region's history, such as the infamous Kalmar Union and subsequent rebellions.
