Finland-Sweden border and monument to the 100th anniversary of Finland's independence

Local brewery with internationally award-winning beers

Tornio is a town located in northern Finland, on the border with Sweden. It lies at the mouth of the Tornionjoki river, which forms the natural boundary between Finland and Sweden. Tornio has a rich cultural heritage and is known for its bilingual (Finnish and Swedish) population.

Haparanda Station is the last station in Sweden before the bridge to Finland. There has been no train service since the 1980s. In 2021, passenger service from Haparanda to Boden (Sweden) resumed, operating three times a day. The station fell into disrepair over the years and was then renovated in accordance with historical principles from 1919. The current station building is therefore well worth seeing. (March 2025)

Well worth a visit.

Very beautiful old Orthodox church from 1884. Unfortunately only very rarely open

After Tornio was granted city rights in 1621, the city's first church was consecrated in 1647. However, it burned down in 1682 after being struck by lightning. Two years later, construction began on a new church a few hundred meters northwest of the site of the old church. On July 11, 1686, the new church was consecrated and named after the then Queen of Sweden, Hedwig Eleonora. The free-standing bell tower was built in 1686-1687. In 1736/37, the Frenchman Pierre-Louis Moreau de Maupertuis used the church tower of Tornio as a measuring point for his measurements to determine the size and shape of the earth. Wikipedia
