Sandcastle

Finland's largest Sandcastle thanks you for the summer of 2026. The area closed on 30 August 2026. See you again next summer!

The millions of kilograms of sand in the Sandcastle area morph into new shapes time and time again since the same sand is reused every year. This is one of our small ways of fulfilling the Green Lappeenranta city strategy.

 Right next to the Lappeenranta Sandcastle, you’ll find Saimaan Palju Event's well-equipped rental shop offering basic hiking gear, a wide selection of bicycles, kayaks, and SUP boards. Perfect for an overnight stays in the tranquil Finnish nature. 

The stunning Saimaa UNESCO Global Geopark sites are included in the new canoeing locations.

It's also well worth continuing your journey with a visit to the popular Fazer store, located right next to the Sandcastle.

You can also use a city bike and explore Lappeenranta, one of the Europe´s greenest city! You recognize the city bikes from it's vibrant orange color.

The Sandcastle will reopen in summer 2027. Thank you to all our visitors!
