Main building

The main building of Nestorinranta is a former natural stone cowshed, originally built in 1953. It was completely renovated for tourism use in 2014. After the renovation, the building now includes:

  • Navettasali, where breakfast is available by order during summer. The hall also serves as the reception area, a kiosk, and a souvenir shop. It features a permanent exhibition about a famous Finnish song that tells the story of a man and a Saimaa ringed seal—an essential part of Nestorinranta’s story. Additionally, the hall houses the introductory story of the Mythology Trail about the mythical waterfowl and the creation of the world, as well as a large wall map of Lintusalo and its surroundings.
  • Toilets and a women’s shower
  • Two accommodation rooms (Ylähuone and Orsi) on the upper floor
  • Laundry room with a washing machine, a mangle, an iron and ironing board, a drying cabinet, and clotheslines. You can book the laundry room by clicking on the image.
