Niuva is a district in the western part of the city of Kuopio, Finland.[1] It is well known as the historic Niuvanniemi mental hospital.[2] In terms of land use, Niuva is mainly a field area around the hospital. The district has few settlements and services, located mainly in the hospital area. However, there is a Länsi-Puijo kindergarten along Suurmäentie.[3] There is a beach on the shore of Lake Kallavesi, just south of the Niuva district in Puijonlaakso.[4]
