A snow castle rises each winter in Kemi, a northern Finnish town at the top of the Gulf of Bothnia. Our slideshow takes you into the castle’s passages, hotel, bar, chapel, sculpture gallery and more.

The winter of 2010–11 is going down in history as one of the coldest and snowiest on record. The Finns take it in stride, though. They make the most out of it by using the frozen ocean as a winter playground.




Smoke saunas, preferred by many purists, are hard to maintain and almost disappeared in the late 1900s, but now they’re all the rage again.

Although it is advertised in a long time for celebration of Finland’s Day, the 6th of December and a customary honor gained in many years Westeras Cathedral
We want to celebrate Finland’s Day and this is an honor not only for the country but also the common history we have with Sweden, a brotherhood. We love Scandinavia and all its countries, God preserve us from fragmentation and other traditions that do not belong to us. If you see the map of the Nordic countries and the puzzle of hop these countries, appears a lion! A little dreamy and peaceful people, God’s Rich Blessings for many right? BLESS
