Why Finland fell in love with the word "SAUNAS".
Tamminiemi is now a museum dedicated to Kekkonen. Visitors can even bathe in his private wooden sauna - for a mere 8,000 euros (£6,700, $10,800).
All Finns have a favourite sauna.
For 35-year-old Minna Kurjenluoma it is the one her grandfather built for the family in the 1940s on the shore of a lake next to a forest in north-east Finland.
Language of the sauna
*.kiuas- sauna stove
*.kiuaskivet- stones in/on the sauna stove
*.loyly- steam, heat, humidity and temperature created by throwing water on hot stones
*.kiulu- water bucket, usually made of wood
*.loylykauha- ladle for throwing water on the stove
*.vihta/vasta- whisk made of fresh birch branches for beating the body to aid circulation.
*.laude- elevated platform to sit on
*.laudeliina- special towel or disposable paper for sitting on
*.lakeinen- opening in the ceiling of a smoke sauna where the smoke escapes during heating
*.saunatonttu- sauna elf who, if you behave badly in the sauna, will become angry and burn it down
"It's very traditional and basic. There's no electricity and it's always very dim so you need to have a couple of candles," she says. "Theloylyis the best because it's very soft, and moist enough because all of the wooden parts of the sauna are very old and soft."
For Kurjenluoma, the sauna played a significant part in growing up.
"To share a sauna with your grandmother, you've seen the body of an older female without clothes and I think that is great because you don't see that often. It's very healthy to see different types of breasts and bums that aren't shown in the magazines."
After cooling off in the Baltic Sea at Saunaseura, I ask Jarmo Lehtola what life would be like without saunas.
"There wouldn't be a Finland without the sauna. It's in our DNA," he says.
"If somebody wants to understand what it is to be a Finn then they have to understand what a sauna is. If you do not experience sauna then you do not experience Finland."
