Rosenlund - Aspegren Garden

The Aspegren Garden and Rosenlund Vicarage form a unique garden milieu in the urban area. Provost Gabriel Aspegren had the Rosenlund constructed in the 18th century, and the garden is one of the oldest vicarage gardens in Finland as well as an exceptionally well-preserved milieu in Scandinavia.

Rosenlund is the oasis of the city both in the summer and the winter, and many different kinds of events are arranged there. Guided tours available through booking.
