Villa Rauhalinna was completed in 1900. It was designed and commissioned by lieutenant
general Nils Weckman, a high-ranking fortification engineer in the Russian army. He presented Rauhalinna as a silver wedding gift to his wife, Alma. According to a contemporary, the festivities on the inauguration of the building were “perhaps themost splendid” that the Savonlinna region has ever seen.
