Konttila Farm represents the oldest building heritage in Kuopio and the traditional hill farm landscape, dating back to 1770. It is a former tenant farm of the vicarage, preserved in its original state with its cultivation areas and landscapes. When the buildings were transferred to the city’s ownership in the early 1980s, the structures in Antikkala were demolished, but Konttila Farm was preserved.
Konttila Farm
Konttila, a 250 year-old farmstead in the heart of the majestic Puijo forest, is a unique Kuopio sight to be experienced. This traditional farm is a protected heritage site surrounded by beautiful nature - and takes you back in time to the days City of Kuopio was founded. Konttila is a piece of North-Savonian history at its best, only 2,8 kilometers from the Market Square.
