About This Book

Kirjoitus kuvaa linnan maantieteellisen sijainnin salmien ja saarten keskellä sekä sen perustamisen rajavahvikkeeksi. Se selostaa linnan syntyvaiheita ja verisiä taisteluita, rajakiistoja ja uskonnollisten jakolinjojen vaikutuksia naapurussuhteisiin. Teksti käsittelee linnan sotaisia rakennuksia, takkojen ja muiden rakenteiden jälkiä sekä linnaan liittyviä sotamuistoja ja muinaisjäännösarvoa. Lisäksi kuvataan hallitsijoiden pyrkimyksiä alueelliseen yhdistämiseen ja arvioidaan linnan muuttumista aseettomaksi historialliseksi muistomerkiksi, jonka perintö ohjaa tarkasteluun menneisyyden kärsimysten ja rauhanpäivien merkityksestä.
