The Hungarian baron of Lapland fame
His father was the chief physician of a Hungarian hospital, his mother the daughter of the first Finnish ambassador to Berlin. Pál Pándy – or Pavoo – went on to start a model farm near the Arctic Circle and became the travelling ambassador of Lapland.
His father was the eponymous chief physician of a hospital, his mother the daughter of the first Finnish ambassador to Berlin. He went missing at the age of 15, was a Finnish-German soldier at 35, and then spent twenty years traveling the world, giving over a thousand lectures on Lapland. The life of Pál Pándy, aka Paavo von Pandy, is anything but ordinary.
