The Castle dates back to the 13th century and provides surroundings which encapsulate Finland’s history. Turku Castle Banquet Halls are a unique, historical venue. Duke John and Katarina Jagellonica held the Renaissance Court in the King´s Hall, Queen´s Hall and Queen´s Chamber in the 1560s. Duke John’s Renaissance Banquet is a famous programme for dinner, where guests travel back in time to experience the ambiance and culture of 1562. Brimming with history, Duke John’s Cellar is located in the Castle bailey. Built in the 16th century, it has served many functions over the centuries, for instance as a governor’s formal residence. The banquet facilities include the pleasant Leivintupa and the larger vaulted Holvisali hall, which hosts festive dinners. The Bryggman Hall on the top floor with a vaulted ceiling is a meeting room with modern meeting equipments. You can enjoy a lunch at the Southern Hall or Juhana Herttua cellar. Some of the banquet and meeting facilities can be accessed from an easy access entrance.
