Customs and Dress

On the Monastery Grounds

It is customary in the monastery for both men and women to dress appropriately throughout the area. This way, the sanctity and unique nature of the monastery are respected. We hope that at least knees and shoulders are covered, as revealing attire is not suitable for the monastery.

Smoking is allowed only in designated areas. Monastery residents may not be photographed without permission. Photography is prohibited during services. The use of flash and tripods in churches is permitted only with the written permission of the head of the monastery.

Flying drones in the monastery area is permitted with written permission from the head of the monastery; the drone operator must follow general instructions and regulations for drone flying. https://droneinfo.fi/fi

With the exception of pet-friendly accommodation rooms, pets are not allowed inside churches or other buildings.

Cars must be left in the designated parking area.
