五、风景名胜，景点( attractions)
1. Visavuoren Museosäätiö
Visavuori was the home and studio of sculptor Emil Wikström from 1894 until his death in 1942. Wikström designed the buildings himself, beginning in 1894 with a combined studio and home. Destroyed by fire in 1896 and rebuilt in 1902 in the national romantic style, this building is the finest example of Karelian architecture in existence. Wikström’s home is typical of Nordic artists’ homes of the time, constructed from logs and featuring many “art nouveau” details. The contents of the house today are as they were in Wikström’s time.
The castle-like studio with its observatory and winter garden was built in two phases between 1903-1912. In the studio almost 100 of Wikström’s works are displayed. Visitors can also see how the artist and his family spent their leisure time: playing the organ built by his brother, taking care of the roses in the winter garden or exploring the stars in his own observatory.
Downstairs in the studio, what was once Wikström’s bronze foundry, is a café open during summer months, serving a wide variety of homemade refreshments.
The Visavuori foundation was established in 1966. Wikström’s children donated all the works of art and the buildings to the foundation and the Visavuori-museum was opened to the public in 1967.

3. Rapolan Muinaislinna
Rapola hill fort is a hill fort in Sääksmäki in the municipality of Valkeakoski, Finland. Its walls have circled an area of 58 000 square meters and it is the biggest hill fort found in Finland. In 1921 senator and archaeologist Julius Ailio raised the question in his article if the fort had been the main fort of Tavastians. This view has also faced criticism later. According to excavations, the fort seems to have been in operation at least during the 13th and 15th centuries. This timing gives the postulation that it was built by the inhabitants in their struggles against invading Novgorodians and Swedes. Parts of it may be even earlier, since the area has been inhabited already in the 7th century. In excavations there have been found 80 depressions that have been interpreted as a place of residence and 13 places of hearths. Only one percent of the area of the hill fort has been excavated. A Papal Bull from 1340 mentions a person named Cuningas de Rapalum in a list of peasants who refused to pay taxes to the Catholic Church. The medieval Sääksmäki church is located nearby, and the oldest signs of farming in Finland is also found there.

六、历史文化
1.历史
The Valkeakoski area is known to have been inhabited since the Iron Age. More than a thousand years ago, the ridges on the area served as a foundation of the Rapola fort. In the following Middle Ages, the mill town Sääksmäki was the center of the area. However, industrialization towards the end of the 19th century increased the importance of what became the contemporary town of Valkeakoski. The channel of Valkeakoski was opened in 1869, and the first paper mill was completed in 1873, marking the beginning of a continuing tradition of the forest industry. The municipality of Sääksmäki, from which the town of Valkeakoski was detached in 1923 was consolidated with Valkeakoski in 1973.
The region was populated from the Bronze Age. The ancient fort of Rapola, which functioned from Prehistory to the Middle Ages, is one of the most important archaeological sites in the country. In 1335, the parish of Sääksmäki was one of the first in Häme to be founded. One of the villages of this huge parish develops around the mills using the energy of the rapids, the villagers bringing their grain to grind from other parts of the region.
Everything accelerated for Sääksmäki in the second half of the 19th century. The canal connecting the two lakes was inaugurated in 1869, and the following decade saw the explosion of industry around the Valkeakoski rapids. It is mainly pulp that drives growth. From 1883, Valkeakoski became the main village of the parish with a third of the inhabitants, and just before the independence of Finland brought together the majority of the population.
If Valkeakoski has a large working population sensitive to the political situation in Russia, Sääksmäki is a conservative rural municipality. During the Civil War, during the defeat of the Reds, Valkeakoski is the village which will see the highest proportion of its inhabitants killed in the whole country. The irremediable tensions lead to the separation between what became the 4th most important paper city of Europe and its parish of origin in 1922. In 1973, Sääksmäki, become a poor small rural commune, will be attached to Valkeakoski, one of the cities the richest in the country.
Since the late 1980s, the city has suffered from the crisis of traditional industries and is trying to convert. The city remains a stronghold of UPM which remains largely the first employer but will see its position weakened by the current layoffs4. It has managed to bring unemployment down to a rate close to 7.5%, but has nevertheless suffered a 10% drop in its population in 20 years.
