Home > Treaty of Nöteborg

The treaty, which was called an "eternal peace", was negotiated with the help of German merchants. As a token of good-will the Novgorodian Prince Juri ceded three of his Karelian parishes to Sweden. Sweden would in turn stay out of any conflict between Novgorod and Narva. Both sides would also abstain from building castles on the new border.

The treaty defined the border to go east and north of the town Viborg, splitting the Karelian Isthmus in half, across Savonia and ending in the Gulf of Bothnia around Pyhäjoki. Only the southern part of the border, close to Viborg, was actually seen as important and clearly defined in the treaty. The norhern part crossed wide streches of wilderness which were of little importance. This would lead complications later, as the Swedish St. Olaf's Castle, which was built in 1475Events August 29 Treaty of Picquigny ends a brief war between France and England.
