        The magnificent castle of the high-ranking clergy in Kuusisto was a model of everyday luxury in the period in question and featured modern amenities from abroad. In the Middle Ages, the Bishop's Palace was not only the center of spiritual life in Catholic Finland, but also the focus of political power. The history of the castle ended when King Gustav Vasa ordered the demolition of the bishop's residence after the Reformation. Only ruins remained of the former splendor.
