Original vintage travel poster from Finland depicting the castle Olofsborg.
Adorned with French text, the poster proudly presents the magnificent "Finlande Chateau-fort Olavinlinna 1475." This artwork invites you to discover the charm and grandeur of Olavinlinna, a remarkable 15th-century castle situated in Savonlinna, Finland.
Standing as the northernmost medieval stone fortress still standing, Olavinlinna consists of three majestic towers that have witnessed centuries of history. The castle's name pays homage to St. Olaf of Norway, a significant figure who met his fate at the Battle of Stiklestad in 1030.
Dating back to the 1960s, this poster embodies the typical style of travel posters from that era, capturing the essence of Finland's rich heritage.
While the poster is in good condition, it's worth noting that the margins have been trimmed by approximately 1 cm. However, this does not diminish its visual appeal. Once framed, this poster will add a touch of elegance to any wall, showcasing the timeless beauty of Olofsborg Castle.
