Hattula
Hattula (Finnish: [ˈhɑtːulɑ]) is a municipality of Finland. It is part of the Kanta-Häme region and until 2010 it was located in the province of Southern Finland. Hattula is almost completely surrounded by Hämeenlinna, only in the north it shares the border with Valkeakoski and Pälkäne on the Pirkanmaa region side.
The area has been settled since ancient times, with the oldest settlements concentrated around Lake Vanajavesi. Archaeological finds and manors reflect a deep manor culture, and old fortresses like Tenhola Hill Fort in Hattula illustrate its importance in early regional defense.
The Hattula parish and its first church were established at the end of the 1200s. The parish is definitively mentioned in documentary sources for the first time in the early 1300s. The Church of the Holy Cross in Hattula, built mainly of brick in Gothic style at the end of the 15th century, was an important pilgrimage site during the Middle Ages. Before its official establishment as a municipality in 1868, Hattula was a historic region with deep roots in medieval religious, military, and manor culture.
The pastures of Häme Castle were located in the area of the village of Nummi at least as early as the reign of King Gustav Vasa of Sweden. During the Thirty Years' War in the 17th century, the infantrymen and hakkapeliitta cavalry of the region were assembled at Parolannummi. The use of Parolannummi as a military training ground began in 1777.
King Gustav III of Sweden visited the camp three times to observe exercises, and King Gustav IV Adolf once. After the change of power, Emperor Alexander I of Russia visited Parolannummi once, and Emperor Alexander II twice.
At the summer camp of 1863, Emperor Alexander II of Russia and Johan Vilhelm Snellman met each other. As a consequence of this meeting, the Emperor signed, on 1 August 1863 in the County Government House in Hämeenlinna, a decree declaring the Finnish language equal to Swedish in Finland.
In honor of Alexander II's visit, a bronze lion - the Lion of Parola - made by the Swedish sculptor Andreas Fornander was erected at Parolannummi in 1868. The erection of the bronze lion was also meant to be connected to the language decree. At the centenary celebration of the language decree in 1963, a "Stone of the Rights of the Finnish Language" was unveiled in the same location.
Hattula also features several old manors and estates and has ties to notable historical figures such as astronomer Anders Planman and nationalist writer Jaakko Juteini. Additionally, the municipality is recognised for its horticultural institute and Lepaa winery, producing Finnish wines.
