This is an authentic vintage travel poster from Finland, showcasing the historic Olavinlinna Castle (also known as Olofsborg).
Olavinlinna is a magnificent 15th-century three-tower castle located in Savonlinna, Finland. Renowned as the northernmost medieval stone fortress still standing, it is steeped in history and named after St. Olaf of Norway, a celebrated figure who fell in the battle of Stiklestad in 1030.
The poster features a striking black-and-white photograph of the castle, framed by trees and reflected in the calm waters of the surrounding lake. This timeless scene captures the castle’s grandeur and its serene natural setting, making it a quintessential example of 1960s travel advertising.
In very good condition overall, the poster has a small tear in the lower right corner but remains perfectly suited for framing and display. A stunning addition to any collection of vintage travel memorabilia or Scandinavian history!
