Other sights in Nurmes

  1. Bomba Village

    Nurmes’ biggest draw is Bomba Village, 2.5km southeast of the town centre. The imposing Bomba House, with its high roof and ornate wooden trim, is a replica of a typical Karelian family house, and was built in 1855 by Jegor Bombin, a farmer from Suojärvi (now in Russian Karelia). It now houses the Bomban Talo restaurant and eating there is the only way to see inside. The surrounding re-creation of a Karelian village makes for a pleasant browse among craft studios, especially when the summer market is on.
