A Little About Finland A Short History of Lappeenranta

Finland has been a member of the European Union Lappeenranta sits on the southern shore of Lake since 1995. A quarter of Finland’s total area lies Saimaa in South-Eastern Finland, only 30 km from north of the Arctic Circle. Finland’s neighbors are the Russian border. The region is called South Sweden, Norway, and Russia. It is the eighth largest Karelia. Lappeenranta has 70,300 inhabitants. country in Europe in terms of area and the most Following the retreating continental ice sheet sparsely populated country in the European Union, of the last Ice Age, hunters and fishermen began with a population of 5.3 million. moving up from the Ukraine region through Northern Europe and into the lands around today’s Lappeenranta.

Still under Swedish rule in the early 1600’s, a thriving Karelian trade center grew on the spot where the fortress now stands. With a population of about 200, the Finns knew it as Lapvesi. Because of its importance as a trading hub and center of tar production, the governor of the region established the town Villmanstrand here in 1649. Swedish Queen Christina signed the city charter. Finns referred to the town as Lapvedenranta (the shore of Lapvesi). Over time, the name became Lappeenranta.

Along with the city charter, the Swedish queen also approved the new coat of arms for Lappeenranta the town, which is the symbol of the city to this Helsinki day. The coat of arms depicts a bearded man

Boat Cruise

A cruise of the Lake Saimaa archipelago and the Saimaa Canal will be offered on Tuesday the 25th beginning at 18.30. The cruise will take 2 hours and allow you to enjoy the natural beauty of the archi- pelago and experience the fun of passing through two of the eight locks of the Saimaa Canal. The Saimaa Canal, approximately 43 km long, connects Lake Saimaa with the Gulf of Finland. A little over half of the canal runs through Finland before it passes into Russia and ends in the Gulf near Vyborg. The elevation difference between the Gulf of Finland and Lake Saimaa is about 76 m. The first lock, in Mälkiä, has the highest lift of all the locks on the canal, up to 12.4 m.

Conference Dinner

The restaurant Lappeenrannan Kasino will host the conference banquet on Wednesday evening from 19.00 to 22.30. Restaurant Kasino, located in the Lappeenranta harbour, is nearly 100 years old and offers a magnificent historic environment filled with the spirit of the past. Its two-story wooden construction represents the typical Finnish archi- tectural style of the time. The interior is spacious, yet cozy.
