And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Olafsborg (Olavinlinna), in Finland, built by the Swedes to keep the region out of the hands of the Russians.
Now, the Finns have undisputed possession. Lots of concerts and artistic performances are held there. Both the Swedes and the Russians are ok with that.
You get to do all the cool stuff, CW.
