Mierola Bridge

The Mierola Bridge extends 88.6 meters across the water, connecting communities through its concrete structure with architectural features common to early 20th century Finnish engineering.

Built in 1919 following the Finnish Civil War, the bridge established a vital link between the villages of Mierola and Rahkoila during Finland's period of infrastructure development.

The bridge represents a period of Finnish architectural advancement when concrete became the preferred material for constructing lasting transportation infrastructure in the Nordic region.

The bridge maintains its function as a road connection, allowing vehicles and pedestrians to cross between the communities of Mierola and Rahkoila in Hattula municipality.

Now classified as a museum bridge, the structure stands as one of the earliest concrete arch bridges in Finland, marking the transition from wooden to modern construction methods.
