Hameenkyro

Few towns in Mainland Finland have a history as closely tied to the power of the Kyröskoski rapids as Hämeenkyrö. The Kyrösjoki River runs through this long-settled area, while Lake Kyrösjärvi extends to the north, giving the municipality a distinctly waterside character. Kyröskoski’s current supported industry from the 19th century onward and remains central to the local identity. Hämeenkyrö is also the birthplace of F. E. Sillanpää, the Finnish writer awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1939, whose work drew deeply on rural life in western Finland.
