Turjanlinna, Historical museum and house in Suomussalmi, Finland.
The museum contains exhibits about writer Ilmari Kianto's life, situated on the shore of Lake Kiantajärvi with surviving original structures including a sauna and net shed.
During the Winter War in 1939, Finnish forces burned the original Turjanlinna buildings while retreating, leaving only a sauna and reindeer shed standing.
The museum displays the literary contributions of Ilmari Kianto, who wrote over 60 works depicting life in the Kainuu region during the 20th century.
Visitors can reach Turjanlinna through daily boat cruises from June to August, departing from Suomussalmi center with tickets priced at 20 euros for adults.
The writer Ilmari Kianto rests on Niettussaari Island directly across from Turjanlinna, creating a permanent connection between the author and his former residence.
