J. L. Runeberg´s home
Aleksanterinkatu 3,
06100 Porvoo
The wonderful garden and home of the national poet J.L. Runeberg in the original 19th century style is a must see when visiting the idyllic Old Porvoo.
The Finnish national poet, J. L. Runeberg (1804–1877), lived with his wife, Fredrika, in the house from 1852 until his death in 1877. The home of J.L. Runeberg is the oldest home museum in Finland and was opened for public in 1882. Summertime you can also visit the lovely flower garden.
