Röykkä (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈrøɥkˈkæ]) is a village located in the Nurmijärvi municipality of Finland, near the border of Vihti municipality. It is fourth largest village in the municipality after Klaukkala, Rajamäki and Nurmijärvi's church village. The population is about 1600.[1]
Lake Sääksi, which is Finland's largest spring water lake, is located northside to the village, and there is Kotolahti,[2] also known as "Little-Sääski" and "Röykänranta", which is a popular beach in Röykkä. There is also smaller Lake Vaaksi near to the village.[2]
Buildings
In Röykkä there is a school and a grocery store K-Market (previously Valintatalo and earlier Siwa). There is also a pizzeria and little coffee house. There is a primary school in Kassakumpu, the largest and growing residential area of Röykkä, but the nearest secondary school is located in the neighboring village Rajamäki.
The railway station, located along the Hanko–Hyvinkää railway, was built and commissioned in 1911 and closed in 1977. Finnish model and PR Manager Ellen Jokikunnas bought building in 2007 to renovating it her new home.[3]
Sanatorium
In the northern part of Röykkä, there is a former Art Nouveau-styled tuberculosis sanatorium known as Nummela Sanatorium[4][5] designed by architect Magnus Schjerfbeck in 1903.[6] Sanatorium was closed down in 1932 and replaced by a mental hospital. In 1989, the hospital was also closed down and has been completely disabled ever since. Wandering in the area without permission is now restricted to outsiders.
Local rumors tell that paranormal phenomena have been observed in an abandoned hospital.[7] According to them, the windows of the building show mysterious lights, and on the edge of the roof there is a woman who suicides by jumping down. According to another rumor, the hospital is haunted by the spirit of a girl who died there at a young age.[8]
