Räimälä — the right water for successful people
|
The water is extracted in the Republic of Karelia, in the vicinity of the old village of Räimälä. The well is located in a forest, one kilometer from the village upstream the Änäjoki River.
The Räimälä village was first mentioned in the 1500 census tax book as part of the Salmin commune. The village was formed by the surrounding hills — Häkinmäki, Ruotsinmäki and Niemenmäki. The village was famous for its mills.
The Salmin Orthodox commune was part of the Korelsky district of the Votic province of the Novgorod land. Before the intervention of Swedes at the beginning of the 17th century, the common name of this land was Salmin. The Resurrection Salmin Commune occupied a territory between nowadays Uuksu and Rajakontu, along the banks of Lake Ladoga and to Suojärvi in the north.
In 1617, these lands were transferred to the Kingdom of Sweden under the Treaty of Stolbovo. A county called Kexholm County (Swedish: Kexholms län) was part of the Governorate General with a center in the city of Narva.
Following the Great Northern War, these lands were ceded to the Russian Empire under the Treaty of Nystad in 1712.
From 1918 to 1939, the entire county was part of Finland.
When labeling our water, we used elements of the ancient coat of arms of Karelia, which, according to historians, reflects the implacable struggle of Russia and Sweden for the possession of this region.
