Aleksis Kivi memorial cottage

A significant Finnish national monument in which the Finnish national writer Aleksis Kivi spent his last months in the care of his brother’s family. This very modest cottage, where Aleksis Kivi died, reminds us what the Tuusula Lake Road looked like before the famous villa habitation and artists’ community. Close by is a beautiful Fjällbo park by the lake and Artist Villa Erkkola.
