Why visit

The main building of Seppälä's former cattle-keeping school, known as Impilinna, was designed by architect Jussi Paatela and completed in 1928 — a log schoolhouse where life and learning were woven together under one roof.

Look for: Picture daily life in the two-storey log house: classrooms, the headmaster's and teacher's quarters and the school kitchen below, the girls' dormitory above.

About this site

The main building of the former animal husbandry school at Kainuu Vocational College's Seppälä natural resources unit (formerly Seppälä Agricultural Institute), completed in 1928 and known as Impilinna, was designed by architect Jussi Paatela. The ground floor of the two-storey log building housed, in addition to classrooms, the principal's and teachers' residences, the school kitchen and teaching materials rooms; the upper floor had a girls' dormitory.

The buildings were comprehensively renovated in 1957 and 1973. The animal husbandry school building is located slightly separately on the western edge of the area, separated by a main road.
