Ainola - Järvenpää

Drove by a place I've been wanting to see for a longer time that has to do with the Finnish history. A place called Ainola which is the home of Finland's most famous composer: Jean Sibelius. Jean Sibelius was also native speaking swedish like me and wrote Finland's national anthem. Ainola means in Finnish "Aino's" place which refers to his wife who lived her whole life here. Her name was Aino. The house was build in 1904 and became a museum 1974.

Jean Sibelius is buried next to the house with his wife. An imporant part of Finnish history was written in this house!!
