Liminganlahden luontokeskus
Liminganlahti surely is the most important sight in town. It is one of the most important wetlands in Finland, and a popular spot for birdwatchers from all around the world to visit. The visitor centre also offers a bird-themed exhibition, a café and a hotel.
Limingan kirkko
The Liminka church has been burned four times, and the current one was built in 1826. It was designed by Anders Fredrik Granstedt and Anton Wilhelm Arppe, and it represents neoclassicism.
Old Liminka
The historic museum district holds three museums; the local history museum, Aabraham Ojanperä memorial home, and the Vilho Lampi museum. The Rantatie street is a nice stroll since it holds many pretty, historical buildings as well as the Liminka parish building. On the other side of the small Liminganjoki river there is also the art school of Liminka, which has a lot of nice outdoor artworks, and which is one of the oldest Finnish folk high schools.
