Lappeenranta - Lappee Church

Lappeenranta's main street is Kauppakatu, running from north to south. To the east of its intersection with Valtakatu, in the Central Park (Keskuspuisto), near the market square, stands the old parish church of Lappee (1794), with a separate belfry (1856). Nearby is a military cemetery with the graves of Karelians who fell in the war with the Soviet Union (1941-44); monument by Wäinö Aaltonen (1951). Near the church, at the corner of Kauppakatu and Raastuvankatu, is the timber-built Town Hall (by C. L. Engel, 1829).
