Welcome to the website of the City of Raahe
The town of Raahe is a steely town of treasures that relies on its rich history, vibrant countryside, Old Town, nature, sea and steel industry as well as a culture of storytelling. The sum of these parts is a peculiarly attractive town, whose appeal lies in its entirety. Our precious metal is steel and our treasure is our people.”
Olkijoki Treaty Museum
In 1918, the main building of the Lassila farm was for the most part demolished and the remaining part was converted into the Olkijoki Treaty Museum. The rooms where the Convention of Olkijoki was signed were kept as a historical memento of the Finnish War. The Treaty Museum was inaugurated in 1937.
Saloinen museum
The Saloinen Museum is an extensive complex consisting of 18 different buildings. The buildings and exhibits of the museum depict old sources of livelihood in the Saloinen region, i.e. fishing and farming. In the museum area, you can find, for instance, a forge, the fishing lodge of Eera Anttila as well as of the old log cabin of the Mutala farm, the history of which can be traced back to 1791. The handsome windmill in the museum area used to belong to the Tokola farm and it stood in the Kuljunmäki area where the SSAB steelworks are currently located.
Ojala museum
The buildings housing the Ojala Museum used to be the Ojala farm, with two old residential buildings and a cowhouse. The main building dates back to the late 19th century. In 1913, it was converted into a shelter for the sick and the elderly. Mrs Augusta Durchman had bequeathed funds to the parish of Pattijoki for establishing a shelter, and these funds were used accordingly to purchase the Ojala farm. From 1957 to 1975, the building housed the municipal old people’s home of Pattijoki.
