The Old Raahe walk explores the colourful history of the town, and you will hear stories of the life in Raahe in the olden times and learn about sailors and bourgeois families. The walk will take you to the Sea Captain’s House to hear what life was like in it back in the day. The stories you hear will include enduring love, trickster pranks, and awful events that have occurred in the past. The walk will take an hour and is disabled-accessible.
Guided Bus Tour in Raahe
The bus tour in Raahe introduces you both to the older and newer parts of the town. The tour will go first through the narrow streets of Old Raahe and afterwards introduces newer neighbourhoods. During the tour, you will see the Canal of Beauty, old teachers’ seminar, the hospital, and parts of the town built in different decades, which all tell their own stories. The tour takes an hour and can also be tailor-made to suit the client’s wishes.

This house is full of hanging decorations – mobiles, both modern and new models. Raahen Taitopaja is a place which offer all kinds of wonderful things to look at in an old foundry workshop. You can explore the activities of the foundry, the Finnish straw mobile tradition, how to make Raahe dog figurines, and glass products. The foundry visit can also include a foundry work demonstration.
Guided Museum Visits
Right in the heart of Old Raahe, there are two interesting museums. The Packhouse Museum is the oldest local museum in Finland, and the Sovelius House hosts the Ship Patron’s Home Museum.
The Packhouse guided tour includes introductions to e.g. Raahe’s ship sailing era, the Raahe style life and events in the 19the century, sculptures in the Raahe old church from the 17th century, an old children’s room with old toys, and the museum’s first curio exhibition on sailors’ souvenirs from around the world.
The Crown Granary guided tour can be tailor-made in length and contents to suit the needs and wishes of the group. During the tour, you will get to know the Raahe history from the prehistorical times all the way to the recent times. The exhibition at the Crown Granary is created with an idea of “less items, more informative content”. The information is presented to a great deal in digital format with slide shows, games, animations, and multimedia. The Crown Granary includes a real historical gem: the world’s oldest diving suit, the Old Gentleman.
The Sovelius House includes the Shipowner’s Home. During the guided tour, you will hear what the 19th century bourgeois house was like and what kind of life was led in it. In December, the Sovelius House is decorated for Christmas, and the guides tell you also about old, Christmas-related customs.
Captain’s Sauna
Surrounded by the gentle steam and heat from the 400-kg sauna stove, all your daily stresses and busyness will surely disappear. Water for washing up is heated on the side of the stove, just like it was done in the old times, and ladled out of the bucket using a scoop. The peaceful sauna experience is ideal for groups of 10-12 persons. After sauna, you can have something suitably savoury to eat with cold beverages. Come and enjoy the real wood-burning sauna at the courtyard of Captain Himanka’s house.
Emperor Alexander I’s Mystery Dinner
On the 2nd of September 1819, the town was in the midst of a real festive atmosphere, when the Russian Emperor Alexander I arrived in Raahe to visit as part of his trip to Finland. The emperor is very taken aback by the hospitality and kindness of the townspeople, and he smiles especially warmly at several locals maidens who respond equally warmly to the gaze of this apparently beautiful charmer.
At the emperor’s banquet, however, locals are amazed at the emperor’s refusal to many of the offered delicacies, and he is said to have contented himself only with sucking the broth prepared by his butler. The reason for this will soon become clear: the emperor suspects the assassin is present and his life is threatened!
The game starts from this suspenseful setting, where you can for a moment visit that exciting day when the safety of the emperor of Imperial Russia – and thus also of Finland – was threatened.
Who wants the emperor to die and why?
In this game, you can be one of the emperor's dinner guests and try to figure out who is threatening Alexander's life. The game is for 10-25 people and it takes about an hour and a half. The game is played while enjoying delicious food prepared according to the spirit of the time.
Talk, be inquisitive and try to reason. Develop theories and weigh alternatives with each other. Otherwise, you will soon find that the emperor can also be very strict to those who threaten him, and he may suspect you…
