Annin Kartano is a party and meeting venue in Tolosenmäki, in the municipality of Kitee, Finland. Two connected halls take about 130 guests indoors, a sauna and meeting level handles company sessions and training, and an in-house catering team serves events of any size. The venue is a restored village school from the 1950s.
Seminars and company events
The official site presents Annin Kartano as a working meeting venue that combines a meeting with staff recreation. The sauna level downstairs is set up for company meetings and training sessions. It has a spacious fireplace room where a meeting or a training day fits comfortably. The venue provides up-to-date audiovisual equipment, a data projector and wireless internet. Meetings can be paired with the sauna and with a catered lunch or dinner from the venue's own team. The site does not give a seat count for the sauna meeting room, so organisers should confirm layout and numbers when they send a request.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are listed among the events the venue hosts, next to christenings, confirmations, graduation parties, milestone birthdays and memorial receptions. The two halls open to each other through a wide doorway, so a reception and a dinner can share one connected space. The site says the rooms are easy to decorate to match a theme. The venue does not state a separate wedding capacity, so the indoor figure of about 130 guests is the reference.
Rooms and capacities
Inside, the venue has two halls. Annin Sali takes 60 people and Kartanon Sali takes 70. A large opening connects them, which gives about 130 places for celebrations when both are used together. The downstairs sauna and meeting section is a third space, with a fireplace room used for meetings and training.
Accommodation
For overnight stays, the venue has three quiet rooms with a total of nine beds. Each room has internet access, a toilet and a shower. The site states that lodging is offered only in connection with parties, so it is not sold as a standalone hotel stay.
Catering
An experienced in-house catering service prepares varied buffets and servings for celebrations and meetings, for small and large groups. Organisers who have a date but no venue or caterer can ask the venue about both in one request. The site also shows seasonal menus and a food safety inspection report.
History and setting
The venue was created by restoring the Muljula village school, built in the 1950s, into a party and meeting house. It sits in open countryside in Tolosenmäki, outside the town center of Kitee.
Getting there
