Located in Finland, the Kajaani serves as the centre and capital of the Kainuu region. The 17th-century town boasts an attractive riverside location. Highlights include: the Paltaniemen kuvakirkko, an enchanting wooden church dating back to 1726 and housing some of Finland’s most interesting paintings; and the Eino Leino-Talo, a museum which recreates the birthplace of Leino, one of Finland’s most famous independence-era poets. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit the ruins of Kajaanin Linna, the Kajaani Castle built on Ammäkoski island dotting the Kajaani River.
