Ilomantsi’s secluded location on the border between the Lutheran and orthodox cultural areas has greatly influenced the area’s Karelian culture. The atmosphere and exhibits of the Rune Singer’s House convey the ambience of an old Karelian cottage. The know-how to sing runes and play the kantele as a tradition which passed on from one generation to the next has been preserved in the area for relatively long.

The exhibition of the Border General’s Cabin depicts his multifaceted character. The Border General Raappana was a nature- and dog-loving person as well as an outstanding war strategist. The exhibition offers a multi-sensory entirety which leads straight to the trench warfare period of the Continuation War towards the battlefront of Rukajärvi.

General Raappana’s character as a defender of the border, commander of the decisive defensive battles of Ilomantsi at the end of the war as well as the nature-loving companion and confidant of Finland’s Marshal Mannerheim is what makes the cabin interesting. There is a 7-minute-long video which contains original film material of Erkki Raappana’s headquarters in Rukajärvi.

The variety of the original exhibits in Rukapirtti is impressive and the artefacts tell their own stories about the common history of the whole of Finland.

Möhkö Ironworks

Möhkö Ironworks is a place for the entire family! At the Ironworks you can learn about the history of the ironworks, war history and the time when Möhkö was dependent on forest industry.

The building of the Möhkö Ironworks started in 1838, in the middle of the wilderness on the brink of the Möhkönkoski rapids of the Koitajoki River. The Village of Möhkö arose and grew alongside the factory. At some point of its history, Möhkö Ironworks was the biggest lake ore ironworks in Finland. After the Ironworks period, forest and timber rafting work brought a livelihood to people in Möhkö and Ilomantsi.

Möhkö was severely mauled by the Second World War. During the Winter war 1939–1940, the village of Möhkö was invaded by the Soviet troops, and the command post of the 155th Division of the Red Army was located in Pytinki. Also the peace negotiations for the Ilomantsi region after the Winter War were held in the mansion. As a result of the negotiations, the area of municipality of Ilomantsi diminished by a third.

The exhibitions of the museum and the museum shop are located in the mansion Pytinki and the old shop building, Ambari. The three permanent exhibitions of the Ironworks tell about the refining iron, Möhkö during the war and forestry period in Möhkö. During the summer there is a changing theme exhibition in Pytinki.

The old buildings and the garden of the Möhkö Ironworks radiate an atmosphere of the old times in the beautiful scenery of the rapids. The Lemmenpolku path leads you to the surge of the Möhkönkoski rapids. Ruins of blast furnaces, restored canals and a mighty water wheel bring you to the times gone by.
