Sininen Talo
In the countryside, yet close by
At the southern end of the Lusi straight, right by the junction of national roads 4 and 5, stands Sininen Talo – the Blue House. Built in the mid-1800s, it was where the village children learned to read for more than a century. Today its halls are filled with celebrations, coffee and homemade treats.

Our story
From a tax registrar's home to village school and celebration venue
