The Kostianvirta river connects lakes Pälkänevesi and Mallasvesi and was formed after a natural flood in 1604. It is historically notable as the site of the Battle of Kostianvirta in 1713 during the Great Northern War.

Nice spot to take a break or even a swim. Seems to be an pier for boats...

Ruins of a church probably built around 1500. During the Reformation the interior of the church was renovated. Since the church was built on sandy soil, the foundations began to crumble in the mid-18th century and cracks began to appear more frequently. The church was abandoned after the new church in Pälkäne was built in 1839. In 1873 the skulls of 55 people buried there were taken to Stockholm for research purposes. During the current excavations on the church grounds, further skeletons were discovered.

Open on Tue-Sat 10-15

Not only can you visit the old ruins and read about them, but you can take a good walk in these surroundings.

These ruins are located near Nuijanmäki next to Route 12. It is worth visiting if you are interested in old churches.
