Lappeenranta - Town Church

Along Kauppakatu in Lappeenranta to the north, on a hill to the left (alt. 130m/427ft; 60m/200ft above Lake Saimaa), is the Town Church (1924). Farther north, at the head of a peninsula projecting into Lake Saimaa to the left of the road, extends the Old Park, with a monument commemorating a battle in 1741 in which the Swedish and Finnish army which had launched an attack on Russia was defeated by the Russians.
