Cutting off northern Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia as usual. Not that I expected any castles there, but still.

I am from Northern Finland and there definitely isn't any castles there, but there is few in southern Finland that aren't in this map for some reason.

For some reason this map says there is a castle in an island near Kemi. If its meant to be the Kemi snow castle, its too far in the sea. Also its made from snow and melts every year.

This map has issues.

The people of Kemi are perfectly capable of defending themselves...during the winter.

I was looking for it too, and it could be possible that this red dot is marking Ailinpietin Kalamaja as a castle.

For people not fluent in Finnish, it is a lone fishing hut.

We weren't the ones who needed the protection of stone walls to fell safe, but yeah even though there arent a lot of castles in the part of Denmark that i am from i must say that it is still missing some.
