Description

Stenberga was an ancient castle built probably in the 14th century. It was fist mentioned in 1389 and built probably by Jakob Abrahamsson, the bailiff of Turku. In 1438 the castle was donated as the site for Naantali Bridgettines Abbey, but in 1443 the abbey was decided to move to the Ailos. The castle was located to the rock hill near Masku River. There has probably been a 13 x 13m tower made of stone.
