    Lappeen Marian kirkko image
    St. Mary's Church of Lappee is an Evangelical church that dates back to 1794. The neo-gothic belfry was completed in 1856. It is located in a park quite far from the church. The church was closed during our visit. So we couldn't see the interior. See more..

    - Вызывает уважение
    Historic Sites
    Финны чтут своих героев. Пусть их не так много, но всех их помнят. Памятник этот похож на множество таких же, раскиданных по просторам матушки России. Однако отношение местных жителей к нему совсем не такое, как у нас. Более трепетное что ли See more..
  4. 4.5 Parikkalan kirkko (4 reviews)
    - Объемный храм

    Parikkalan kirkko image
    Впечатляющий своими размерами барочный деревянный храм XIX века в провинциальной Париккале находится, как здесь принято на возвышении, его видно издалека, и не случайно - церковь вмещает более полутора тысяч молящихся.
    И так же как и многие другие храмы Финляндии он открыт только в тёплое время года, поэтому большую часть времени его можно осмотреть только снаружи.

  6. 4.5 Salpalinja (2 reviews)
    - Visita guidata molto interessante
    Tuesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent More than 3 hours Historic Sites • Battlefields
    Salpalinja image
    Abbiamo visitato la Salpalinja con un tour guidato.
    L'inglese parlato dalla guida non era eccellente, ma le informazioni sono comunque state numerose e interessanti e il clima di gruppo molto positivo.
    Abbiamo visitato una serie di bunker ed appreso moltissimo della storia della Finlandia di quegli anni.
    Visita da raccomandare, meglio dopo aver già letto qualcosa al riguardo.

  7. 4.5 Rakuunamaki (2 reviews)
    - Dragoon Hill with historic red-brick barracks and many monuments
    Tuesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent 1-2 hours Historic Sites
    Rakuunamaki image
    Rakuunamäki (literally Dragoon Hill) is an old garrison area. Originally it served as an accommodation area for the dragoon regiment and cavalry. Nowadays it is publicly open for everyone. This historical area is almost as interesting as Lappeenranta Fortress, I think. The dragoon regiment was established in the 1880's and these red-brick barracks were built then. You can even stay overnight in one of them, if you book your accommodation in Hotel Rakuuna (see separate Tripadvisor reviews). The area is full of interesting monuments. So this is a very nice historic walking area. Besides, Rakuunamäki is a part of Saimaa Geopark. Rakuunamäki features an ancient shoreline of the Baltic ice lake dated to 12,600 - 10,300 BP (Rakuunamäki raised beaches). The address of Rakuunamäki is Mannerheiminkatu, Lappeenranta. Navigators also recognize addresses Kasarmikatu and Väinö Valveen katu. See more..

    - Venäjän keisarikunnan rakennuttama linnoitus
    Spent < 1 hour Historic Sites • Ancient Ruins • Military Bases & Facilities
    Taavetin linnoitus image
    Linnoituksen ensimmäinen osa on rakennettu 1773-1781 ja oli kooltaan 650m x 800m eli varsin kookas. Toinen vaihe 1791-1796 käsitti sisäosan. Katariina II nimesi linnoituksen Davidovskaja Krepostiksi eli Davidovin linnoitukseksi Pyhittäjä David Tessalonikalaisen mukaan. Linnoituksen muureja on vielä aika hyvin nähtävissä ,samoin vallihautoja. Linnoituksessa toimii mm. kesäteatteri. See more..

    - Great view from the top
    Tuesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent < 1 hour Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks
    Kuivaketvele Hillfort is about 10-12 minute car ride or 30-35 minutes bicycle ride from Lappeenranta city center. There is also buses running between Lappeenranta and Taipalsari but they are only on weekdays. The hill fort offer excellent 360 degree of the surrounding. The view of the lake is also very beautiful. On the top there are benches where you can relax and catch a breath before heading back. On the way back you can also pick up blueberries if they are in season. See more..
