Lalli, Historic site and bronze statue in Kepola, Säkylä, Finland.

The bronze statue represents a figure from Finnish folklore, showing a peasant named Lalli who became central to Finnish medieval history.

In 1989, sculptor Aimo Tukiainen completed this monument that commemorates the events of 1156 when a peasant confronted Bishop Henry.

The statue represents a turning point in Finnish religious transformation, depicting the tensions between traditional beliefs and incoming Christianity.

Visitors can access the statue through a cycling route that connects multiple historical sites, starting at the Naurava Lohikäärme Information Centre.

The monument stands near Lake Pyhäjärvi, where ancient monuments and prehistoric sites create a historical path through Finnish heritage.
