Pauhalla Statue

フリー 自由

The Pauhalla statue, located in Pyhäjoki, serves as a reminder of a time when fishing was an important livelihood in the Raahe region. Herring, in particular, has been fished from the waters of the area. The plump spawning herring was called pauhakala. It was caught during the pauhapyynti season using pauhapaatti boats. Pauha refers to a herring shoal where waves roar during a storm. The word has remained in use in the Raahe region to this day.


Artist, sculptor Prof. Kari Juva sculpted the bronze Pauhalla statue in 1987. The front of the statue bears the inscription: "God grants great catches to the sons of Pyhäjoki", while the back reads: "To the work of past generations."
