Hietaniemi Cemetery

Why go

This is a quiet place to read Finland’s modern history through commemorative landscapes rather than museum displays. The Heroes’ Place and Artists’ Hill give two distinct perspectives: collective remembrance of war and individual recognition of cultural figures. The Heroes’ Place is a national memorial landscape associated with Finland’s wartime history.

What to look for

• The Heroes’ Place is a national memorial landscape associated with Finland’s wartime history.
• Artists’ Hill contains the graves of more than fifty nationally and internationally recognised Finnish artists.
• The cemetery is divided into five sectors and lies beside the Hietaniemi waterfront.

Useful to know

• Check the current official opening and access information before visiting, as arrangements can change by season or event.
• Treat the cemetery as an active place of burial and remembrance.
