Olukonda

Olukonda is a village in Ondonga in northern Namibia and the site of the first Finnish Lutheran mission station among the Ovambo, founded in 1871. The missionary Martti Rautanen lived and worked there for decades. His house and church, built in the 1870s and 1880s, are among the oldest buildings in northern Namibia and now form the Nakambale Museum.
