[1] Documents show that this Fortification consisted of two groups (Company: military unit) or about 200 soldiers.

The task of this fort was to delay the possible attack of the Swedes until they reached the interior of the country.

The castle remained active until the end of the Finnish war, after which it lost its concern.

[2] The Finnish Heritage Agency listed the castle in 1966, but a research project was carried out between 5 and 9 May 2008 to further investigate the building.

The Järvitaipale Fortress has never been repaired, and apart from small test pits, no Archaeology excavations have been carried out.
