Soile Yli-Mäyry’s Art Castle

There are dozens of interesting museums, summertime exhibitions and summer theatres in the Lahti region, offering new experiences for people of all ages and sizes.

History, art & culture

Five Star Manor What do an ancient Chinese funerary figure, the sculpture Marjatta by Emil Wikström and watercolours depicting the town of Vyborg by Viktor Svaetichin have in common? The answer is the Five Star Manor exhibition at the Lahti Historical Museum. Lahti Historical Museum, 27.3. 2015–28.2.2016

Ruins of the Church of St. Lawrence The Church of St. Lawrence in Hämeenkoski was built in the late 15th or early 16th century. The church was used as a place of worship until the 17th cen-tury. Studies have shown that the church is almost unique among the 101 medieval stone churches

in Finland. It is a rare medieval site in Finland. Its history can only be surveyed by means of further archeological studies.

Immilä water mill The rapids of Immilä were used for milling already in the middle ages and the oldest written information on the rapids dates as far back as 1548. Today Immilä is a museum area and the mill also hosts a café and a handi-craft showroom open during the summer.

Among other things, the Orimattila Art Museum includes the collections of the Ilmari and Toini Wall-Hakala Art Foundation, as well as


the exhibition "Erkkos from Orimattila" present-ing the life of brothers J.H., Eero and Rudolf Elias Erkko. Ilmari Wall-Hakala's collection of the art of the 1800s and 1900s includes 173 paintings and drawings, 41 sculptures and etched plates. Among other things, the collection includes paintings by Akseli Gallén-Kallela, Albert Edelfelt, Pekka Halonen and Helene Schjärfbäck.

Päijännetalo and Leisure Fishing Museum Päijännetalo displays, among other things, the history of fishing starting from the Stone Age to the present day, the evolution of Rapala from a fishing hut to a company of worldwide fame, live fishes as well as freshwater and signal cray-fishes of Päijänne, and a presentation of the Päi-jänne Water Tunnel.

Orimattila Local History Museum The Local History Museum located right in the centre of Orimattila is a farmhouse museum, whose nine different buildings feature objects related to everyday life in the farmhouse in the 1800s and early 1900s.

Modern art meets history Soile Yli-Mäyry’s Art Castle boasts a selection of paintings by Soile Yli-Mäyry from a period of nearly 30 years. You can visit the castle to admire this architectur-ally important house and its spectacular halls, where approximately thirty years of art by Yli-Mäyry has been collected.

Villa Roosa – an old felt slipper factory. Villa Roosa is a summer exhibition destination for modern art at Orimattila. SUMMER EXHIBITION 2015 is open 13.6.–19.8.

Gallery Aila Seppälä Visual poetry refers to poetry that you can watch, i.e. where the focus lies not only in the meaning of words but also in their visual nature. It is a combination of poetry and visual arts; it highlights the physical form of letters. Sanakuva Kollektiivi Merkillinen – Visual poetry exhibition 29.7.–23.8.

On weekdays, Casseli serves á la carte lunch and a delicious buffet lunch. In its range of dishes, inter-national cuisine meets up with traditional Finnish culinary art.

Sibelius Hall The window’s of Lahti’s pride, the flagship of modern Finnish wood construc-tion, Congress and Concert Centre Sibelius Hall sparkle right next to Lake Vesijärvi. The heart of the house, the tall Forest Hall, combines the large music hall building to the Carpentry Fac-tory dating back to the beginning of the 20th century. The renovated lakeside hall hou ses a pleasant restaurant.

Piano Pavilion The flagship of the wood archi-tecture park, Café Piano Pavilion was designed by architect Gert Wingårdh. The stunningly beau-tiful café manufactured from wood and glass is partially on top of the lake at the Lahti Passen-ger Harbour. Piano Pavilion’s doors are open daily during the summer, starting on May 1st.

Wood design at ProPuu ProPuu Association of Lahti was established in 1997. It is a guild and meeting place for cabinet makers, designers and other wood sector professionals. ProPuu is located in Tikkula, a former matchstick fac-tory at the Lahti Passenger Harbour. The won-derful building houses the association’s gallery, store, offices, designers’ workspaces and a car-penter’s shop.

Lanu Sculpture Park The sculpture park of artist and professor Olavi Lanu is located within a walk-ing distance from the Passenger Harbour in the Kariniemi Park. Twelve human figures manufac-tured from reinforced concrete have been placed in the wonderful lakeside nature.

DID YOU KNOW? Finland is one of the best fishing countries in the world and the plan is to retain it as such. WWF Finland aims at making Finland the first state in the world where only sustainably caught and produced fish is sold by the end of 2015. So let's grab a fishing rod and get out there!

Support your localThe old slogan was Moi Lahtelaista! (Hi, I'm from Lahti!) but now we use the new slogan, Support Your Local. It is both a statement and a product. Or you can think of it as a product that takes a stand: it shows that all of us can make small choices to influence our living environment.

The Lahti region is full of fun restaurants, small boutiques, cafés and other services that make the cityscape more lively. The renovated market square and its surroundings will make downtown Lahti even more lively.

Explore the boutiques, enjoy what they have to offer, participate in events, admire the nature, buy something to take with you home and take a shine to the Lahti region!

The people ofcottages Finns are people of cottages. People search for silence, tranquillity and togetherness from cot-tages instead of homes, and almost every Finn has a hideaway where to relax and regain strength.

For some people the cottage means water that has to be carried inside from a well, an out-door toilet and candlelight. Others want to relax in a villa that is as comfortable as a family house. One can find just the right kind of cottage for vacation and relaxation from the versatile selec-tion of rental cottages in the Lahti area. Check out the comprehensive selection and rent your-self a cottage.

priced. Our cafeteria has a wide range of tasty snacks, both sweet and

savoury, which can be enjoyed with coffee or other beverages.

The course is 25 km from Kouvola, 45 km from Lahti and 145 km from
