This is Hamina in Finland
Hamina is a town and a municipality of Finland. It is located approximately 145 km (90 mi) east of the country's capital Helsinki, in the Kymenlaakso region, and formerly the province of Southern Finland. The municipality's population is 19,844 and covers an area of 1,155.14 square kilometres (446.00 sq mi), of which 545.66 km2 (210.68 sq mi) is water. The municipal language of Hamina is Finnish.
Highway 7 (E18) is the town's road connection to Helsinki, after it was upgraded to a continuous motorway in September 2014. Hamina is also one of the most important harbors of Finland, the Port of Hamina-Kotka. The port specializes in forest products and the transit of cargo to Russia. One of Google's five European data centers is situated in Hamina.
Vehkalahti was as a municipality first mentioned in 1336. At the proposal of Count Peter Brahe, the area surrounding the Vehkalahti church (today St. Mary's Church) received its charter in 1653 through the establishment of Vehkalahden Uusikaupunki (Veckelax Nystad in Swedish, The New Town of Vehkalahti). The town was later destroyed during the Great Northern War in 1712.
Plan of the Fredrikshamn fortress town (1723) by Axel Löwen
As the commercially vibrant city of Vyborg was lost to Russia in 1721, Fredrikshamn (named in 1723 in the honor of King Frederick I of Sweden) was dedicated to replace it. The town, hitherto a small domestic port with restricted trading privilege's, was granted extensive rights to conduct foreign trade. The Finnish speaking population soon abbreviated the name og the town to Hamina. The reconstruction of the town was completed between 1722 and 1724. The star-shaped fortress and the circular town plan, designed by Axel Löwen, were based on Central European and Italian Renaissance concepts from the 16th century. Fortress towns with a circular street plan like this are quite rare; one example is Palmanova in Italy.
In 1743, Hamina was surrendered to Russia, after the Russo–Swedish War, 1741–1743, and the town of Loviisa was the next Swedish candidate for an Eastern-Finnish trade center. Hamina became a Russian frontier town, for which a fortress was desirable.
The Treaty of Fredrikshamn (1809), by which Sweden ceded Finland, including parts of the province of Lappland and the Åland Islands, was signed in Hamina. Thus Sweden was split, and the eastern half was formed into the Grand Duchy of Finland, an autonomous part of the Russian Empire. In 1812, the previously conquered territories known as Old Finland (including Hamina) were joined to the Grand Duchy.
Hamina Cadet School was founded in 1819 and was in operation until 1903. In 1920 the Reserve Officer School began in the same facilities.
Because the town was founded next to the Vehkalahti Church, the municipal center had always been inside the town borders. Vehkalahti and Hamina were consolidated in 2003, and the old coat of arms was replaced with Vehkalahti's coat of arms. The old coat of arms was readopted in January 2013.
Main sights
1) Town Hall: Originally built in 1798, it was renovated by Carl Ludvig Engel in 1840.
2) Reserve Officer School: The site which trains reserve officers in the Army Academy of the Finnish Army
3) Town Museum: It is located in a building where King Gustav III of Sweden and Empress Catherine II of Russia met in 1783.
4) Shopkeeper's Museum
5) Google Data Center: (former Stora Enso pulp factory)
6) Hamina Fortress: Built in the 18th century, it is one of the star forts in Finland. The corners of the fortress form six bastions, named after towns in Finland. The Central Bastion was added at the end of the 18th century, and is currently used for cultural events.
7) The tallest flagpole in Europe

A Tour of SUOMENLINNA SEA FORTRESS in Helsinki Finland
SUOMENLINNA SEA FORTRESS travel vlog: I caught a ferry from Helsinki to Suomenlinna, a historic sea fortress built by the Swedes in the 18th century to protect against Russian expansionism.
???????? See more of my travel vlogs from Finland here →
Suomenlinna Sea Fortress is around 3 miles off the coast of Helsinki and accessed by regular ferries that depart and arrive at least every hour. The sea fortress is built across eight small islands and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. I decided to make my visit a day trip from Helsinki and spend a few hours walking around the islands on a self guided tour.
Sadly this was my final day in Finland but I enjoyed the slow pace and relaxing nature of walking around Suomenlinna and taking in the pretty gardens, historic fortifications and charming views. Thanks for watching and I’ll see you in the next country!
