Kokemäki Open-Air Museum

The Kokemäki Open-Air Museum features 15 traditional buildings from the Satakunta region, which were relocated to the site in 1962–1963. One of the museum’s most significant buildings is the main house of the Yli-Pälpälä farm, originally built in the 1790s in the village of Pälpälä. The building includes a main room (pirtti), two chambers, an entry hall (porstua), and a bakehouse (pakari). The interior reflects 19th-century style.

The museum grounds also include traditional storehouses from Satakunta, a smoke sauna, and a blacksmith’s workshop. Among the unique structures are an old charcoal burner’s rest hut and a Swedish-style storehouse built by Finns under Swedish supervision.

The Kokemäki Open-Air Museum is located near the town center, along the road leading to Kauvatsa. A guide is available on Thursdays in July from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Admission to the museum is free!
