General presentation
Seinäjoki et les plaines de l'Ostrobotnie
Alvar Aalto architecture and vast agricultural landscapes characterize the modern heart of Ostrobotnia.
Centre Aalto, Lakeuden Risti and Lauhanvuori give the most telling landmarks of Seinäjoki and the plains of Ostrobotnia. Together, they form a destination where urban life, countryside and heritage meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than a single uniform setting.
