About Kaukovainio
What are the main landmarks in Kaukovainio?
Kaukovainio leans on its neighbours for sights. Karjasillan kirkko stands close by in Karjasilta, the brick church that anchors this side of Oulu, while the headline museums and the cathedral keep to the city centre nearer the Gulf of Bothnia. The estate itself is residential.
Its core lies north toward the water.
What is the history of Kaukovainio?
Kaukovainio rose as planned housing for Oulu. The district was laid out as a residential estate when this North Ostrobothnia city expanded south, and Karjasillan kirkko, the parish church just over in neighbouring Karjasilta, served the new quarters that filled the ground. The blueprint shaped it.
Streets followed the plan.
