The Kastelholm witch trials, which took place in Kastelholm on Åland between 1665 and 1668, were the biggest witch trial in the history of Finland. It was also almost unique in its character for Finland, where witch trials were normally small, with a single and often male defendant accused of sorcery. In contrast, the Kastelholm witch trials were a mass trial where several women were accused of attending a witches' Sabbath and making a pact with the Devil in the manner of contemporary continental witchcraft demonology, and in both instances it was almost unique for Finland, where only the Österbotten witch trials of 1674-1678 were similar to it. It resulted in the execution of six women.

- Häxprocessen på Kastelholm på Åland mellan 1665 och 1668 är den största häxprocessen i Finlands historia. Det var en av de största häxprocesserna i dåvarande Sverige före den stora häxjaktens utbrott 1668-76, och anses ha utgjort förebild för den senare häxjakten då den satte trolldom i samband med Satansförbund. I Finlands historia är det tillsammans med häxprocesserna i Österbotten unikt och skiljer sig från Finlands övriga häxprocesser, då det var en massprocess mot kvinnor för satanspakt, snarare än ett enskilt mål mot en klok gubbe för trolldom. Processen resulterade i sex personers avrättning. (sv)
