The nickname "Paris of Savo" may sound crazy to begin with but there is truth to these words. In their heyday, Joroinen's stunning mansions, such as Frugård, Järvikylä, Joroisniemi and Koskenala, were so international that Swedish and French were spoken in and around the estates. The ballrooms hosted luxurious balls, games were played, and music and theatre were enjoyed. The village was established by Ukko-Joro, a legendary figure who came from the east and departed leaving behind only his name and a bunch of interesting stories. The spirit of Joroinen is one of these – it is embodied by working together and creating a positive, encouraging atmosphere. So what about a holiday in Joroinen, surrounded by all of this? Frugård mansion is considered one of Finland's most important mansions. The former horse breeding farm is nowadays an organic lamb and cattle farm, and the traditional landscape is maintained on the farm. Visiting is by prior arrangement but the mansion is also stunning from a distance. Järvikylä mansion is nowadays known as Finland's largest producer of lettuces and herbs. Some of the mansions are in private use while others let out their premises for events such as parties, meetings and concerts. The best way to see the mansions is to tour the local region independently. Joroinen church is a wooden cruciform church that is definitely worth a visit. In the summer, the church's bell tower hosts the Tapulikahvio café, which is also connected to a small church museum. Museum-lovers are also recommended to visit the Karhulahti local history museum, which is decorated in the peasant style of the 1920s. In addition to the main building, the courtyard contains a stable, a smoke sauna, an outhouse and other buildings. The National Defence Museum is open by prior arrangement and contains war-related objects from the 17th century onwards. The most important landmark in Joroinen is the statue of a boy holding a bull, which was designed and made by artist Taru Mäntynen. It is in the middle of a roundabout in the parish village. If you are visiting Joroinen for the peaceful natural surroundings or outdoor activities, head for Kotkatharju, which has a network of cross-country skiing tracks and paths winding around the slopes. Kotkatharju is also home to a 36-hole frisbee golf course, which is advertised as Finland's largest, as well as a lean-to shelter, a summer theatre and the Kanavankangas firing range. If you would like a guided trip to go fishing or hiking, get in touch with the Vanamola guest house. If you would like to shop for souvenirs and gifts, Riikka-Piikka sells a range of handicrafts and handicraft supplies, natural cosmetics and cleansing agents, local delicacies and much more besides. Book a cheap holiday to Joroinen and get to know the Paris of Savo. - Top hotels in Joroinen - Top Holiday Rentals in Joroinen ![PihlasResort](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100720000/100715500/100715415/ee3022fd_y.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=340&ch=150) ### PihlasResort Kaitaistentie 345 Joroinen £149 8 Apr - 9 Apr includes taxes & fees Stay at this luxury resort in Joroinen.
