Väinämöinen Playing Kantele

Vyborg, Monrepos Park, Väinämöinen sculpture

In Monrepos Park, in the city of Vyborg, there is a sculpture of Vyaynemeynena — the hero of the Karelian epic "Kalevala". He is depicted sitting on a stone, holding a kantele on his knees. The statue was restored in 2007 after the original was lost during the war. The new sculpture is made from artificial stone and was unveiled at its former location on June 2, 2007.
