There are also art studios, a printing museum, a handicraft shop, café and restaurant (opened on request).

The year 1809 is cut into the wood in the mill and is likely to be the year when it was built. Mr Isak Jakobsson Schöring (1759-1833) was the farmer that owned the land where it was built. According to tradition, a sailor, Skata Johan, was the architect. He had sailed many years as the ship%27s carpenter and most likely also visited Holland, while the mill is built in the Dutch style. This kind of a windmill is unique in Finland. The mill was used for about one hundred years for grinding meal and planing wood to small, slim pieces, used for covering roofs. The mill was not used after 1910 and was without wings until 1991, when the association Bygdeföreningen renovated it.

Ancient grave field in Tervajoki
66440 TervajokiBarrack square
Kasarminkatu 6
VaasaThe Orthodox Church was completed in 1862, but was then still surrounded by a large bare area, which according to the plan was to be gradually transformed into Alexander Square, now called Kasarmintori. The designs included the establishment of a park around the church, surrounded by a fence, but there were no financial resources for this. The low stonewall that surrounds the church today was built by the city authorities, but not until the 1950´s. The pathway around the church was also paved at that time and bushes were planted along the inside of the wall. The southern part of the park flourishes today, dominated by maples, bushes and fir-trees. In the year 2000, a plan was made for the renewal of the park´s trees, which is now gradually being realised. At the north end of Kasarrnintori there is a gravel sports pitch. On the south side of the church there is a playground, as well as the so-called ´Wall of Tradition´, surrounded by field guns.
Birch park
Kolukatu 38
VaasaKoivupuisto is situated on a lovely slope that faces west towards the sea. The area was originally intended to become a square. Gradually, however, the area was instead developed into a park. In 1987, the American landscape architect Kurt Meyers designed a new plan for the park featuring a fountain and a man-made stream in unhewn stone, which give the park its special character today. Beside the stream there is a granite sculpture of a bear, created by architect and sculptor Matti Visanti. The birch-trees that gave the park its name are still its main feature. Several types of bushes and perennial flowers have been planted on the open lawns that lie between gravel pathways, sloping down to Rantakatu.

VaasaKalaranta stretches from Vaasanpuistikko to the County jail. The park at Rantakatu slopes steeply down to the sea and is popular for tobogganing during the winter months. There are benches and flowerbeds along the gravel paths that run through the park area. There are many types of trees in the park, but the dominating species are silver birch, common lime, Norway maple and larch. Other types represented are ash, Berlin poplar, wych elm, pyramid elm, oak, pin cherry and amur chokecherry. Bush types that can be found are for example sweet mock-orange, blue-berried honeysuckle, shrubby cinquefoil, shiny cotoneaster, luneberry, birchleaf spirea, rugosa rose, tartarian (Fly) honeysuckle, and a plantation of sea buckthorn down by the shore.
Hietalahti Park and Hietalahti House have a long, rich tradition behind them. The transformation of the forest area to a park probably began as far back as the end of the 1830%27s, when it passed into the hands of the medical doctor Gabriel Sanmark. Sanmark was interested in gardening and planted new trees on the land. Today the park is a popular outdoor recreation area. And here you also find the Brage open-air museum.
Hovioikeudenpuisto
Hovioikeus, RantakatuThe steep slope to the sea is in its present form terraced, and the shoreline has been paved. Three horseshoe shaped walls were built facing the open cobble-stoned area of Hovioikeudenpuistikko. Bushes and perennial flowers have been planted at the middle wall. On the side facing the sea there is also a semicircular space with flowerbeds and a sundial in the centre. The park has been rejuvenated by the planting of young trees amongst the old European lindens, silver birches, wych-elms, larches, Norway maples and Ash trees. On the north side of the strand pavilion, Hovioikeudenpuisto becomes the Satamapuisto, which stretches all the way to %22Academill%22, Åbo University%27s new college premises in the former steam-mill complex.

Initially the bay had to be dredged to a depth of two metres, because of the effects of land uplift and effluent from nearby industries. The shoreline was raised and the foundation was laid for a 10-hectare park, using the dredge residue. The development of the park is still in progress and there are plans to build a strand pergola and a paddling pool for children.

Kasarminkatu 6
VaasaThe Orthodox Church was completed in 1862, but was then still surrounded by a large bare area, which according to the plan was to be gradually transformed into Alexander Square, now called Kasarmintori. The designs included the establishment of a park around the church, surrounded by a fence, but there were no financial resources for this. The low stonewall that surrounds the church today was built by the city authorities, but not until the 1950´s. The pathway around the church was also paved at that time and bushes were planted along the inside of the wall. The southern part of the park flourishes today, dominated by maples, bushes and fir-trees. In the year 2000, a plan was made for the renewal of the park´s trees, which is now gradually being realised. At the north end of Kasarrnintori there is a gravel sports pitch. On the south side of the church there is a playground, as well as the so-called ´Wall of Tradition´, surrounded by field guns.
Birch park
Kolukatu 38
VaasaKoivupuisto is situated on a lovely slope that faces west towards the sea. The area was originally intended to become a square. Gradually, however, the area was instead developed into a park. In 1987, the American landscape architect Kurt Meyers designed a new plan for the park featuring a fountain and a man-made stream in unhewn stone, which give the park its special character today. Beside the stream there is a granite sculpture of a bear, created by architect and sculptor Matti Visanti. The birch-trees that gave the park its name are still its main feature. Several types of bushes and perennial flowers have been planted on the open lawns that lie between gravel pathways, sloping down to Rantakatu.

Hietalahti Park and Hietalahti House have a long, rich tradition behind them. The transformation of the forest area to a park probably began as far back as the end of the 1830%27s, when it passed into the hands of the medical doctor Gabriel Sanmark. Sanmark was interested in gardening and planted new trees on the land. Today the park is a popular outdoor recreation area. And here you also find the Brage open-air museum.
