Windowsun.
8355

A pretty complex niche. — Edit 4/24/2020: with intriguing markings(?) adjacent (or maybe slim objects adhered to the wall?)

Shelf: utilitarian in detail, but perfectly consonant with the masonry walls.

A rather dramatic throne within a display room.
8386

Totally sweet Bryggman-designed (I assume) vault in (I think) the attic of the keep.
8388
![](pix/turun-linna-2/8388.jpg)
The combination of the original medieval construction with Bryggman's well-integrated elegant, lighter insertions is almost too great for my critical-regional brain to handle.

Oh look a bunch more niches.
8408

The coatroom area beyond the lobby. — Edit 4/24/2020: lovin' the glyphic stone compositions on the far wall.
8409
![](pix/turun-linna-2/8409.jpg)
A skyway between the two sides of the keep. — Edit 4/24/2020: interesting slightly-asymmetrically-arched windows.
8410

And below. — Edit 4/24/2020: and another eclipse sconce through the central window.
