About Koroinen
Where to stay in Koroinen
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Koroinen has almost no built fabric, so the beds for a visit here stand across the Aura or south in the Turku centre, with the district itself supplying open ground and two churches. The river is the divider. You would base yourself near the Turku Student Village or in the centre and walk into Koroinen for Pyhän Katariinan kirkko, Turun Koroisten kirkko and the recreational land between them.
About Koroinen
What are the main landmarks in Koroinen?
Two churches carry the district. Pyhän Katariinan kirkko and Turun Koroisten kirkko are the entries the record fixes to Koroinen, which is a heavy count of church building for a quarter that is otherwise recreational ground and open land. Both stand near the Aura.
Anything beyond the two churches means crossing the river towards the Turku Student Village or heading south into the Turku centre, where the rest of the sights sit.
What is the history of Koroinen?
Two church names sit on a quarter with almost nothing built on it, and that mismatch is the clearest thing the record offers about the past of Koroinen. No founding year is entered. Pyhän Katariinan kirkko and Turun Koroisten kirkko both attach to the district, which sits inside the Koroinen ward of Turku, in Varsinais-Suomi, in Finland.
Little else survives in writing.
Where is Koroinen?
The Aura runs between. Koroinen lies north of the Turku centre inside Varsinais-Suomi, largely unbuilt ground given over to recreation rather than to streets.
