Why visit

On the riverbank at Kajaani's northern edge spreads the seminary grounds, where the new main building raised after the fire stands beside earlier building phases — the history of teaching laid down layer by layer.

Look for: Seek out the new main building raised after the 1929 fire and the surviving ground floors of the destroyed buildings; the teacher-training school sits at the northeast corner on Seminaarinkatu.

About this site

At the northern edge of Kajaani city, by the riverbank and as part of its historic built environment, is the Kajaani seminary area. It contains the first two storeys of a building destroyed by fire, three buildings preserved from the first construction phase, and a new main building erected after the fire of 1929. The normal school is located in the north-eastern corner of the old seminary area on Seminaarinkatu.
