A traditional stone church by beautiful lakeside. The church was detroyed by fire in 1997 but was re-built with love and passion by the locals. Inside of the church is decorated by famous artists Kuutti Lavonen and Osmo Rauhala in contemporary style but respecting ancient traditions. A small summer cafe run by a local farmer nearby.
Upea kohde, joka yhdistää historiaa, nykytaidetta ja vahvan tarinan. Kirkko sijaitsee luonnonkauniilla paikalla ja sinne pääsee myös veneellä. Lähettyvillä pieni kesäkahvila.

This museum is located in a tiny town of Sastamala but if you happen to be in Tampere area it's really worth the effort to make a trip here. The exhibition is very well made and it appeals to both old and young. One of the best items is a giant book that you can literally crawl through!
4. Stone Castle of Pirunvuori

I have been here a few times over the years and every time the nature here amazes me with its' beauty. The Pirunvuori (Devil's mountain) area is so beautiful and the Stone Castle of artist Danielson is quite unique. The castle was built of rocks over 100 years ago and it still stands proudly in the forest and one could still live there during summer time, if you do not mind that you do not have a toilet or running water. The artist used to paint in this spot - and I do not blame him for choosing this area, as its' beauty never stops to impress me and surely also its' other visitors. I warmly recommend the walk from Vuorihotelli (formerly known as Ellivuori) to Pirunvuori. Take mosquito repellant with you, if you come here in the summer.
