About our rating systemThis site celebrates the accomplishments of Urho Kekkonen (1900-86), who served as president of Finland longer (1956-1982) than anyone else. Built in 1904 in the Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) style, the site today is a testimonial to the survival of Finland against the Soviet menace, and a testimonial to the man who helped make that happen. Of particular interest is a view of the most famous sauna in Finland. A log-sided, old-fashioned building with a wood-fired stove, it hosted several pivotal diplomatic meetings, including some with Nikita Khrushchev. The sauna can be visited only between June and August. Finnish-language tours depart at 30-minute intervals throughout opening hours; an English-language tour is conducted every day at 1:30pm. Otherwise, you can borrow an English-language cassette and player for a self-guided tour.
