Marshal's Cabin

The Marshal's Cabin (or Marski's Lodge; Finnish: Marskin Maja) is a current museum and restaurant at the shores of Lake Punelia [fi] in Loppi, Finland, near the Räyskälä village.

[1] The Marshal's Cabin was built during the Continuation War in 1942 and was originally a gift from the soldiers of the 14th Division, commanded by Major General Erkki Raappana, to Marshal Mannerheim, the 75-year-old Commander-in-Chief of the Finnish Defence Forces.

[2] The original location was on the shores of Lake Leksozero in Keihäsniemi in Rugozero in Finnish-occupied East Karelia.

At the end of the Continuation War, the cabin was demolished and a new place was sought for it on the west side of the future state border.

[3] The original builders of the cabin re-erected the building on the shores of Lake Punelia in Loppi during May and June 1945.
