Huovinrinne, Military garrison and Cultural Heritage Site in Säkylä, Finland

The Huovinrinne garrison extends across 4000 hectares of land, incorporating training facilities, firing ranges, and administrative buildings within its boundaries.

The garrison construction started in November 1959 after the state authorized land acquisition, with architect Osmo Lappo designing the military structures.

The garrison maintains a collection of military monuments and art pieces along the Honor Path near the headquarters building.

The facility serves as a training center for Finnish peacekeeping forces and includes multiple battalions specializing in mechanized infantry and engineering operations.

The garrison architecture represents a nationally significant example of modern 1960s military construction design in Finland.
