About Hennala

What are the main landmarks in Hennala?

A few fixed points anchor the area. The Sotilaslääketieteen museo recalls the garrison years, the Launeen kirkko gives the western side of Lahti its parish church, and Apulandia draws families to the district for an indoor day out. Neighbouring Sopenkorpi and Kärpänen share the plain residential grain of this flank of the city.

What is the history of Hennala?

Soldiers shaped this corner of Lahti. Hennala was long a barracks ground on the western edge of the city, and that military past still marks the district through the Sotilaslääketieteen museo, which keeps the story of army medicine alive on the old garrison site within Lahti.

Where is Hennala?

The district lies on the western flank of Lahti. Sopenkorpi sits just to its north, and the everyday streets here run on toward Kärpänen and Asemantausta across the same side of the city.
