What to See in Lappeenranta
City of Lappeenranta (population 60.000) is the economic and cultural center of southeast Finland situated at the southern edge of the Saimaa, the largest lake (system) of Finland.
Its culture and dialects are strongly part of Eastern Finland. Lappeenranta has a colourful, over 350-year-old history between the east and the west.
- Historical fortress. Visit the fortress, the original city center, where some very old buildings are still standing, including the oldest orthodox church in Finland, completed in 1785.
- Sandcastle. Each summer an ever larger sandcastle is built by artists on the northern end of the harbour area. Each year they have a different theme and make sculptures on the walls of the castle accordingly. There is a small theatre inside the castle playing acts intended mainly to children and families.
