Laurinkallio

The archaeological site of Laurinkallio stands on a sandy ridge with steep walls, forming a natural defensive position in the Finnish landscape.

Dating back to the Iron Age, this hillfort served as a fortified settlement and strategic outpost for early Finnish communities during periods of regional conflict.

The site demonstrates how Iron Age communities selected elevated locations for settlements, combining defensive capabilities with the need to monitor surrounding territories.

Access to Laurinkallio requires walking along a marked trail from Parola, where visitors can park near the road leading to Tenhola manor.

Archaeological excavations at Laurinkallio have uncovered numerous artifacts and remnants of wooden structures that detail daily life in ancient Finnish settlements.
