MUURI/THE BARRICADE

Join hands around the former psychiatric hospital in Lapinlahti on Saturday 14 November 2026 at 13.00-15.00!

The work to promote mental wellbeing in Lapinlahti has been under threat for decades. Today, the cultural and community activities open to everyone are under threat from a plan to rent out most of the site as a company’s headquarters.
We gathered for the first ‘Muuri’ (’The Barricade’) demonstration in 2000. The second was in 2018. Now it’s time to do it for a third time.
Join us for an event that will leave its mark on Lapinlahti’s history!

Venue: The front yard of the Lapinlahti main building (accessible)
Organiser: Pro Lapinlahti Mental Health Association
