The Juselius Mausoleum was built by a local industrialist, F.A. Juselius, for
his daughter, who died at the age of 11. The original frescos, painted by
the artist Akseli Gallen-Kallela, were later destroyed. The wall paintings
seen today are the work of artist Jorma Gallen-Kallela, who painted
them in his father’s style.
