Until 1924, the settlement was called Sieklahti and was part of the Finnish village of Yakkima. In Russian-language sources, it was called the Yakimvara station. Only in 1924 it was separated into a separate independent village of Lahdenpokhya. Translated from Finnish, "lahti" means a bay, and "pohjaс" from Karelian means a bay or the end of a bay. That is, if it translates literally, then the edge of the bay. This is true, because the settlement is located in the depths of Lake Ladoga.
In general, Lakhdenpokhya is considered a small town in Karelia. Live webcams are available on the site. Here everyone will find something interesting for themselves, because. it has a rich history and an extraordinary natural landscape. This place is interesting because here you can see Lutheran churches and Orthodox churches, ancient Finnish architecture and Russian wooden huts. And, of course, the unique Karelian folklore.
First of all, it is better to visit the Lutheran Church. This red brick building was built in 1851. It stands on a hill and is the dominant feature of the city. During the years of Soviet power, this religious building was closed and has not been used for its intended purpose since then. In 2019, a museum was opened here, where you can see various sculptures of angels. It is necessary to see the church, if only because it is recognized as an object of cultural heritage. Unfortunately, due to a fire that occurred in 1977, all interior decoration was destroyed, but the facade of the building is very beautiful.

Another well-known church is located in the vicinity of Lahdenpokhya, live webcams broadcast from the streets of the city.

This is Lumivaara Church. The Lutheran church appeared in 1935 surrounded by tall coniferous plants. Today the building is almost destroyed. All that remains of the former glory are the walls, the roof and the bell. At the same time, inside you can see the remains of the interior: wall paintings, an altar with a fresco, a cross, benches and even a high bell tower. Adds a little mystery to the old Finnish cemetery with white crosses.
Of the religious buildings of the Orthodox, the chapel of St. George, built in 1995 in the city park. It became the first Orthodox chapel in the city. The building is octahedral in shape and painted dark brown with a black roof. Its dome was built entirely of wood.
