The railway station of Haukivuori is part of the series buildings
along the Savo line. It is one of the examples of the wonderful
design of the Finnish railway architect Knut Nylander and is built
in the 80-ties of the 19th century. The original building has been
extended in the first quarter of the 20th century.
The characteristic building is still in very good condition and a
lovely place to live permanently, to start a business, to develop
arts and craft, to use it as a place to stay during summer and more.
During 2012 the artist Marja de Jong has lived in this place and she
has had a terrific time during that year. The ambiance, the way one
can live in it, the spacy rooms, it was all so good and cozy.
The building has a complete kitchen including a traditional cooking
place, toilet, and shower. The place is connected to electricity,
municipal water and sewage system. The owner has started to bring
extra comfort, like an extra bathroom and sauna. These facilities
are not ready yet, but all the material is available.
