Vintage Imperial fishing Lodge built on the rapids of the river Langinkoski, Grand Duke of Finland Alexander III in 1889 in a conservation area, for several years she was a Finnish manor house for a summer vacation of the Royal family. It is located in the picturesque Park with the Orthodox chapel of the beginning of the XIX century, built by the monks of the Valaam monastery to the Orthodox events.

Two-storey house is very well preserved. Visitors appears massive furniture made of Karelian birch, placed in living room, kitchen, office and bedrooms.

A favorite pastime of the Empress Maria Feodorovna during your stay in Langinkoski was cooking for her family, and the Emperor spent time, intently watching the fish.

After the death of Alexander III the locals in 1896 established in his memory a stone with an inscription stating that the Emperor enjoyed here the peace and comfort under the protection of his faithful people.

Currently in Langinkoski is only permitted for fishing bloodworms. The Museum installed dummy 36-pound salmon in natural size trapped in 1896 by a local fisherman.
