Linnanpelto is a district in the city of Kuopio, Finland, about a kilometer north of the Kuopio Market Square. It is part of the Itkonniemi– Männistö–Linnanpelto division area, which has a population of just over 5,800. [1] Linnanpelto starts immediately on the north side of the railway.
The area has its own services, e.g. Sale grocery store, [2] hairdresser, cafe and kindergarten. [3] The district also houses two schools: the Kalevala School (former Linnanpello Secondary School and High School), [4] which was closed down in summer 2016, and the Pohjanmaa School, about a kilometer away.
The most famous inhabitants of Linnanpelto are the late Pertti "Spede" Pasanen, known for his films and inventions. [5]
