Niukkala

Village in Parikkala, Finland

Niukkala (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈniu̯kːɑlɑ]) is a village in the municipality of Parikkala in the region of South Karelia, Finland, on the shore of Lake Pyhäjärvi.

A library in the village center

The village belonged to Uukuniemi municipality until the beginning of 2005, when Uukuniemi was merged with Parikkala.[1] Although the village was the former administrative center of the Uukuniemi municipality, it never formed an urban area due to the too small population base.

Niukkala's services include, for example, a general store,[2] an Osuuspankki bank office, a sports field and a library.[3]
