The island opened to the public in the summer of 2014. The 150-meter-long island is part of the city district of Suomenlinna, and during its history Lonna has also been the place of negotiations for the fate of Suomenlinna. The island once acted as a place for storing sea mines, and later also served as a degaussing station for ships. The governance of Lonna was handed over from the armed forces to the Governing Body of Suomenlinna in 1999, and the restauration of the island for public use began.<\/p>\n<p>These days the island is a joyous leisure island with a restaurant and a caf\u00e9 & bar, as well as function venues available for private hire. Despite its small size, the islands relaxed atmosphere will have you enjoying your stay there for a longer time.
