Helsinki

Helsinki was originally founded on the River Vantaa in 1550 to be a rival to the Hanseatic city of Reval (today known as Tallinn) on the opposite river bank. A few years later Reval became a dominion of Sweden, and Helsinki no longer needed to be located on the river mouth. In 1640 it was relocated to where the city centre still is today.

“Kanavaranta 3" (Katajanokka)

The historical storehouse was built from 1867 to 1903. The original building impresses with its classic red brick architecture and the arched window and door cut-outs.
