Lotta Svärd, Albert Edelfelt (1854-1905) J.L. Runebergin "Vänrikki Stoolin tarinat".

She was a fictional character in the poem by the famous Finnish national poet, J.L. Runeberg, which tells about a young Finnish woman whose husband was called to the colours for the Russo-Finnish war of 1808-09.

She insisted on joining him and after his death in battle she remained with the army doing what she could to help the men. Her name was adopted for the Lotta Svärd Organisation.

Lotta’s museo

Lotta museum in Tuusula

The Lotta Museum is situated in Tuusula on the shore of Tuusula Lake at Syväranta.

The exhibits relate to the history of the Lotta Svärd organisation (The Womens Auxiliary Services, 1921-1944) and the activity of the Lottas. The exhibitions is regularly changed; there is a multi-media presentation in several languages to choice, it is possible to arrange concerts on the premises and lectures are organized. Refreshments are available in the Lotta-café where most of the fare is "home made" in house for your enjoyment.

The Lotta Svärd Organisation chose as its emblem a blue Finnish swastika on a ground of heraldic silver roses. The swastika as a national emblem was adopted in Finland at the time of independence in 1918 and first appeared on aircraft donated by Count Eric von Rosen, a Swedish aristocrat whose family coat of arms contained the swastika insignia. It was used by the Defence Forces in various forms up to the end of hostilities in 1944.
