Joensuu granary, Pielisjoki Castle
Joensuu granary, Pielisjoki Castle, Crown granary and administrative building in Joensuu, Finland.
The Pielisjoki Castle stands on a small island in the Pielisjoki River, featuring a neoclassical design with symmetrical shapes and columns across three floors.
Constructed in 1849 by architect Ernst Lohrmann, the building initially served as a grain storage facility before transforming into office and residential spaces in 1919.
The structure houses the North Karelian regional association and represents the architectural evolution of Finnish public buildings from the 19th century.
The building contains 1,500 square meters of space divided into three floors, including an observatory tower and multiple office areas for administrative purposes.
Despite its name suggesting a fortress, the Pielisjoki Castle functions as a civil administrative center and has never served military defensive purposes.
