Along with Rauma and Porvoo, Kristinestad is one of the largest and best-preserved wooden house towns in Finland. There are several restaurants and a supermarket here. The campsite is 1 km away.

Very nicely located campsite and beach. The kitchen is fully equipped. Tip: I put up my tent near the sauna. I was protected from the wind there and since the house was open, I also had a private room including a toilet.

Impressive brick building! The roof areas are interesting.

Kristinestad is very interesting, the wooden houses are beautiful to look at.

Here you feel like you've been transported back to the Ice Age!

Cannon Bay Cannon Bay is located just five kilometers south of the city center. The area offers beautiful hiking trails and has traces of the last ice age. In Cannon Bay there are both beautiful rocks and charming green areas. The place is very popular and many come here to take a dip in the sea. Do you have a picnic basket with you? This is the right place to enjoy a nice meal outdoors. There are two campfire sites and the city provides the firewood. There used to be a signal station in Cannon Bay. A signal station consisted of a mast with several yards. Each of the signs raised to the yards had a unique meaning. During operation, the station was always manned. From Cannon Bay to the city center, a passage was built in the forest that made it possible to observe the station. The observers in the tower of the town hall could in turn direct the cannon fire.

Per Brahe the Younger founded Kristinestad in 1649 to strengthen trade in the Gulf of Bothnia. According to the Finnish Heritage Agency, the grid plan of Kristinestad's town centre is the best preserved town plan from the period of Swedish rule. The town was never burned down and the buildings date from different eras. Most of them were built in the 19th century, the oldest buildings date from 1700. The proximity to the countryside is clearly visible in the town's layout and in many of the buildings.

The new church, a brick building, was built in Kristinestad in 1897 according to the drawings of Jac Ahrenberg. The tower is 47 meters high and the nave has space for 1000 visitors. There are two Lutheran congregations in the center of Kristinestad, one Finnish-speaking and one Swedish-speaking. Both congregations have their own pastor and the Finnish-speaking congregation also has a chaplain.
