Old Vaasa Ruins

Haunting remnants of the town that burned in 1852

The ruins of the original town's church belfry and town hall are all that remain of the Vaasa that burned down in 1852. The site, a short drive from the modern city, has a melancholy, grassy quality — open-air remnants of a town that simply ceased to exist. A small outdoor museum provides context.
