Ahvenkoski, Historical site and Cultural Heritage Site at Kymi River, Finland.
Ahvenkoski spans across two municipalities, Loviisa and Pyhtää, with the Kymi River flowing through its landscape marked by natural resources and historical structures.
From 1743 to 1809, Ahvenkoski functioned as a critical border crossing point between Sweden and the Russian Empire, influencing regional development and political relations.
The site preserves archaeological findings from a Viking Age harbor discovered in 2010, revealing centuries of maritime activities and trade connections.
Visitors can reach the location via local roads from both Loviisa and Pyhtää municipalities, with guided tours available throughout the main historical areas.
The Battle of Ahvenkoski in April 1918 marked the final confrontation between German forces and Finnish Red Guards during the Finnish Civil War.
