The Villages of Heittola and Riitiala

Riitiala and its neighbouring villages, Heittola, Höytölä, and Kiiala, are ancient farming locations in Satakunta. A pivotal factor in the settlement of those villages is Lake Kyrösjärvi, whose shores were settled in the middle of the Iron Age. People have remained in the same location to this day. The villages of Riititala and Heittola are of great cultural and historical value, are still going strong, and still have a touch of the 19th century about them.
