The Story of Lomakivi

13 generations on the same farm

The history of Lomakivi reaches back to the beginning of the settlement of the Radansuu isthmus. The farm’s location settled at its present site during the stages of the Great Partition (isojako) in the early 1800s. The current main building and the granary date from 1868.

Today Lomakivi is hosted by the farm’s 13th generation.
