Fanjunkars
Fanjunkars is a former military croft and a museum in Siuntio, Finland. The croft is known as a former residence of the national writer of Finland, Aleksis Kivi. Kivi lived in Fanjunkars, which was owned by Charlotta Lönnqvist, between 1864 and 1871 and wrote some of his most famous work there, such as The Seven Brothers.The name Fanjunkars comes from Fanjunkare, an old Swedish military rank. This is due to the fact that Charlotta Lönnqvist's father was a Fanjunkare in the Swedish army and the area of Finland was a part of the Kingdom of Sweden until 1809. Lönnqvist's father was a war veteran and had served during the Finnish War in 1808. He owned the croft until 1850.
