So, Lappeenranta views.
In the Russian empire the municipal duma (council) should be in stone, but in view of poverty Lappeenranta, by way of exception, the emperor has permitted a wooden town hall. Surprisingly, but till 80th years of the last century the municipal duma sat at this building Lappeenranta, well and nowadays — a museum.

After finnish independence the church is completed and altered by Finland in Lutheran, but has strongly pronounced lines of orthodox russian architecture.
In city centre there is a cosy park and a cemetery of heroes (mainly Winter and World War II wars). In the same park Sacred Maria's church and a wooden belltower of a XIX-th century:
Belltower (finnish: Kellotapuli), a wooden building of the middle of a XIX-th century in the centre Lappeenranta, near to St. Maria's church (finnish: Lappeen Marian kirkko).

In the central street, Kauppakatu along which the park and a cemetery is broken, except set of little shops there is a cosy monument to one of city symbols — the Saimaa seal.
Weather was average despondency, time was a little. The fortress and other sights of Lappeenranta will be next time!
