Around Rauhalinna, Savonlinna


Rauhalinna is situated in a forest on a hill and a path lined with trees leads down to the lake to a jetty where once the steamboats from Savonlinna used to stop, even today some sightseeing boats visit Rauhanlinna in the summer.

Rauhalinna, Savonlinna




This summer we are travelling in Finland - for a change. Starting from the surroundings of our summer town Savonlinna. Here is Rauhalinna, a Moorish-style villa built around the year 1900 by Nils Weckman who was an officer in the Russian army. It was a gift for his wife at their wedding anniversary. Later it has served as a hotel and a restaurant, now closed and nothing seems to be happening. It's a pity, it's so romantic place.
