About Limingantulli
What are the main landmarks in Limingantulli?
Two sites mark Limingantulli. The Heinäpään jalkapallohalli serves indoor football on the district's northern side, close to the boundary with the Heinäpää district and the streets that carry the city southward from its centre. The Noitavainojen uhrien muistomerkki gives a quieter focus.
It is a memorial to the witch-trial victims. For the city's bigger draws, visitors head north to central Oulu and neighbouring Raksila.
What is the history of Limingantulli?
The name points south. Limingantulli, the Liminka toll-gate, marks where the old road to Liminka left Oulu's southern edge, the customs post that once watched traffic moving into the town. A sombre monument anchors that memory.
The Noitavainojen uhrien muistomerkki honours victims of the witch trials, set on this southern flank of the city. History here is read in names and stone.
Where is Limingantulli?
Limingantulli sits in southern Oulu. The district marks the inland approach to the city, away from the Oulujoki delta and the Gulf of Bothnia, with the Heinäpää and Raksila districts lying between it and the centre to the north.
