An old Imperial fishing lodge built on the river rapids of the Langinkoski River by the Grand Duke of Finland Alexander III in 1889 in a protected area, for several years was a Finnish summer holiday estate for the royal family. It is situated in a picturesque park with an early 19th century Orthodox chapel, erected by the monks of the Valaam Monastery to organise orthodox events here.
The two-storey house is very well preserved. Visitors can see massive Karelian birch furniture in the living room, kitchen, study and bedrooms.
Empress Maria Feodorovna's favourite pastime during her stay in Langinkoski was the preparation of various dishes for her family, while the Emperor spent his free time watching the fishing.
After the death of Alexander III in 1896, local residents erected a stone with an inscription in his memory with an inscription that the emperor enjoyed peace and cosiness here under the protection of the people loyal to him.
Currently, only recreational bloodworm fishing is permitted in Langinkoski. The museum has a life-size replica of a 36 kg salmon, caught in 1896 by a local fisherman.
