Come enjoy the charm of Sovintola’s century-old schoolhouse, a place brimming with both history and modern-day life.
Sovintola
Sovintola is a charming, historic school building located in the heart of Kesälahti. It serves as an active hub for the local community. The site features a lovely, over 100-year-old garden, terraces, cafés, an art gallery, an antiquarian shop, a handicraft store, residency programs, exercise groups, and community spaces. The area’s beautiful cultural and nature trails both start and end at Sovintola, with the cultural trail spanning approximately 2.5 km and the nature trail about 4.5 km. Lakeland Karelia will set up a tent in Sovintola’s outdoor area to showcase and sell its activities and other services.
