About Kajaani

Once known as “Cajanaburg”, Kajaani lies on the shores of Lake Oulu in the Kainuu Region of Finland. It was originally founded in the 17th century and flourished on the back of the tar industry before surrendering to Russian forces during the “Great Wrath”. Today, Kajaani is renowned for its beautiful old buildings and island castle ruins.

Things to do in Kajaani

Stroll through the heart of Kajaani to admire the Town Hall, which was designed by the German architect Carl Ludvig Engel in the 1830s. Gaze up at its clocktower and turret before continuing to the Kajaani Church, a Neo-Gothic wooden landmark built according to the plans of Jac Ahrenberg. Topped by a slender bell tower, it is beautifully decorated with carvings.

Located on an island in the middle of the Kajaani River is Kajaani Castle, which was originally established in 1604 by Charles IX of Sweden. It served as an administrative hub, a prison and a military base throughout its history, with only its stone-built walls and ramparts remaining today. There are splendid views of the castle ruins from the waterfront walking trails of Rantapuisto.

For a dose of local history, visit the Kainuu Museum, which explores the cultural heritage of the region from prehistoric times until the mid-20th century. Learn about the day-to-day lives of Kainuu residents and the industrialisation of Kajaani as it grew from a small town to the regional capital. The upper room of the museum hosts changing exhibitions on locally significant themes.
