Kotkaniemi – the home museum of
President P. E. Svinhufvud

Welcome to Kotkaniemi, the home of P. E. Svinhufvud, who was a central figure in the struggle for Finnish independence.

The museum and café are open throughout the summer season, starting in May. Both are closed during the winter season (September-April). However, we are open for special occasions and subject to orders throughout the year.

Please contact us if you wish to book a private visit during winter season (at least 5 days before the visit).

In addition to the home museum there is a café, conference premises, garden, nature trail and a lakeside sauna. Located amidst nature by Lake Kivijärvi in Luumäki, Kotkaniemi is roughly 20 kilometres from Lappeenranta.
