Mantsala

Mäntsälä has served as a parish centre in southern Finland since the late 16th century. The municipality lies in low, wooded countryside north of Helsinki, where the Mäntsälänjoki forms part of the Porvoonjoki river system flowing towards the Gulf of Finland. Mäntsälä is closely associated with the Mäntsälä rebellion of 1932, when the Lapua Movement tried to pressure Finland’s government; the episode ended without the coup its leaders sought. Today, rail links on the Helsinki–Lahti line connect its local centre with the capital region, while fields, forests and scattered rural homes define the surrounding area.
