Where to stay in Pikisaari

Anyone wanting quiet on the northern side of Lappeenranta can still use Pikisaari as a daytime base and turn south for the night.

About Pikisaari
What are the main landmarks in Pikisaari?
The gazetteers hand Pikisaari a name and a parent city and stop there, so no monument, museum, or church stands against the district in the record that Lappeenranta keeps. Rapasaari is filed the same. Visitors set on sights turn instead to Linnoitus, one district over.
What Pikisaari supplies to the map is a name and a place in the list of Lappeenranta districts, which is where South Karelia's registers leave it.
What is the history of Pikisaari?
Dates are missing here. Pikisaari appears among the districts of Lappeenranta without a founding year, a charter, or a first documentary mention, which leaves the city's own history to stand in for the quarter's. Rakuunamäki and Linnoitus lie south of it in the same register. South Karelia holds the file, and the national registers of Finland add only the district's position on the northern side of Lappeenranta.
Where is Pikisaari?
Pikisaari sits inside Lappeenranta, in Finland, with Rapasaari a step to the east and Tyysterniemi to the west.
