Wanha Markki – an award-winning summer attraction!
Retirement home for animals
Upon arrival at this 200-year-old Ostrobothnian farmyard, you will be welcomed by a flock of sheep, a pony, a donkey, ducks and many other animals roaming the area. These animals spend their well-deserved retirement days at Wanha Markki, receiving all the pampering and care they could wish for. The artists Liisa-Cristiina and Heikki Laaksonen established Wanha Markki and its animal sanctuary more than 20 years ago, and the centre rapidly overcame its initial challenges to become a popular visitor attraction.

‘Amazing’ and ‘unbelievable’ – these exclamations can be heard daily in Wanha Markki’s fashion shop.
