Kirkkonummi

Kirkkonummi straddles the transition between the Gulf of Finland’s indented coast and the wooded interior of Uusimaa, a setting that gives the municipality both an archipelago edge and broad stretches of rocky forest. The coastal Porkkala peninsula reaches far into the gulf and is closely associated with the post-war Soviet lease of the Porkkala area, which lasted from 1944 to 1956. Inland, Lake Meiko and its conservation area are well known for walking, paddling and Finnish outdoor recreation. Hvitträsk, the early-20th-century home and studio created by architects Eliel Saarinen, Herman Gesellius and Armas Lindgren, is a major example of National Romantic architecture.
