About Kartano
Where to stay in Kartano
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Ristinkirkko and the city collections set the terms here. Kartano lies directly north of Keski-Lahti, so a room in this district puts the Lahden taidemuseo, the Lahden Historiallinen museo and the Hiihtomuseo inside an ordinary walk rather than a journey. Keski-Lahti holds more beds.
A traveller booking Kartano is choosing the church-and-museum side of Lahti over Jalkaranta or Kiveriö on either flank.
About Kartano
What are the main landmarks in Kartano?
The second district of Lahti holds an unusual concentration of institutions for its size, with the Lahden taidemuseo, the Lahden Historiallinen museo and the Lahden kaupunginmuseo all falling inside it. Ristinkirkko anchors the group. Pyhän Kolminaisuuden kirkko and Lahden vapaaseurakunta account for two further congregations, and the Hiihtomuseo is listed beside the other collections.
Kiveriö lies over the eastern boundary.
What is the history of Kartano?
Lahti's second district arrives without a start year. The district enters the record as the second of Lahti's districts, a numbering the city applies to its own ground rather than a note of when these streets were first laid. Päijät-Häme frames the rest.
What survives as datable fabric is architectural: Ristinkirkko, Pyhän Kolminaisuuden kirkko, and the collections held by the Lahden Historiallinen museo and the Lahden kaupunginmuseo.
Where is Kartano?
Kartano occupies the ground between Niemi to the north and Keski-Lahti to the south, with Salpausselkä and Jalkaranta closing its western side.
