Lappeenranta Fortress

Reviewed By jlaakso - Porvoo, Finland

Three museums (two art museums and a small and comfy cavalry museum), nice cafes, lots of shops with local arts and crafts. We had pancakes with honey that’s made by bees local to the fortress yard!

Wolkoff House Museum

Reviewed By outip2019

You get to Wolkoff’s foyer directly from the museum shop. It’s a small place. One room, barely big enough for about four people. But it’s big in history. The whole history of Lappeenranta lives there. It is embedded into the walls, the floor and the ceiling, all wooden. A few minutes is enough to get the vibes, but an hour or two of meditation would be optimal. The whole house is nice, but the foyer is amazing. There are two writings on the wall: E.T. (!) and LETTU, which is a crepe, like a pancake. It seems that E.T. loves crepes, or Finnish style pancakes. They are to be eaten either with sugar sprinkled on top or with a good jam like strawberry or raspberry. For a drink a glass of milk if you’re a young one or young at heart. A cup of coffee if you’re a more mature person. Back to the foyer of Wolkoff’s house museum. In my opinion this is the number one place in Lappeenranta. Visit this one and you understand the history of the town.
