Kanttila, Historical residence in central Kuopio, Finland.
The wood and stone building stands at the intersection of Minna Canth's katu and Kuninkaankatu streets, featuring protected facades from early 1900s renovations.
Built in the 19th century, Kanttila served as both the home and business location of Finnish writer Minna Canth from 1879 until her death in 1897.
The building functioned as a literary gathering place where notable Finnish figures, including composer Jean Sibelius, met to discuss arts and social issues.
Visitors can schedule guided tours lasting one hour to explore the building, which sits 450 meters from Kuopio Market Square.
The structure housed the first bookstore in Southern Finland from 1820 to 1846 before becoming a yarn and general store.
