Artistic caretaker

Janne’s brother, visual artist Antti “Unski” Immonen is the soul and service director of the Old Post House. After years of Helsinki, he returned to Varkaus and moved to the house at the beginning of the year.
Unski is an artistic caretaker who serves clients in all matters and takes care of the historic building.
Artist Immonen says that in the future he will also be doing visual art in the house. Unski’s works have been on display in Helsinki and Varkaus in recent years. There will be a new exhibition in Helsinki this spring.
About twenty artist works are currently on display around the house. They can be found on the walls, both in the ballroom and in the rooms, for sale.

Historic building

The Old Post House is centrally located on the Päiviönsaari side of the center of Varkaus. The house was built in 1930 and was one of the first larger buildings in Varkaus.
As the name implies, the historic building was originally completed as a post office until the late 1980s.
After that, the building underwent a major renovation and the house was transformed into a music school in the 1990s. The city of Varkaus has been owned for more than 20 years. However, the building remained unused and after the change of ownership Janne Immonen bought the house in October 2017.
