This wooden building from 1810 stands near the market square and is part of the protected built heritage. It has been protected by decision of the National Board of Antiquities since 1950, and a thorough renovation was carried out in 1991–1992. J. V. Snellman, Finland's national philosopher, lived here as a child in 1813–1816. The building has also served as a city hotel, a hospital and a volunteer fire brigade building, and the Toimitaloyhdistys association has owned it since 1965.
The premises include a 128 m² hall and a 49 m² restaurant room with a kitchen, with room for 120 people in all. The rooms are high, the floors pine, and the hall has a fireplace. It is used for family celebrations, seminars, association meetings, training and small cultural events. Bookings and enquiries are handled by phone or email, and the website has an invoicing form. The toilet is wheelchair accessible.
