Vasaramäki means hammer hill. The quarter lies southeast of Turku's centre in the Uittamo-Skanssi ward, a low-density suburb rather than a core.
About Vasaramäki
Where to stay in Vasaramäki
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Flowpark and the Uittamo-Skanssi ward set the terms here. Vasaramäki is low-density housing southeast of Turku's centre, so the rooms are in the city core and the reason to come out this way is Flowpark or the quiet ground around Pyhän Ristin kappeli. Beds thin out fast.
A central Turku base keeps Ylösnousemuskappeli and the Turun hautausmaan sankarihautojen yhteinen muistomerkki within an easy ride southeast, which works if Flowpark matters more than a doorstep in the centre.
About Vasaramäki
What are the main landmarks in Vasaramäki?
Two chapels, a memorial and a park make up everything Vasaramäki lists. Pyhän Ristin kappeli and Ylösnousemuskappeli both stand here, and the Turun hautausmaan sankarihautojen yhteinen muistomerkki is listed alongside them as the memorial the district's own record names. Flowpark rounds out the list.
It sits in the same low-density stretch of the Uittamo-Skanssi ward southeast of Turku, which is where all four are found.
What is the history of Vasaramäki?
The name explains itself: vasara for hammer, mäki for hill. Vasaramäki belongs to the Uittamo-Skanssi ward of Turku, in Finland, and its record fixes a position southeast of the centre without ever fixing a founding year for the suburb. Two church names hold the past.
Pyhän Ristin kappeli and Ylösnousemuskappeli carry it, and the Turun hautausmaan sankarihautojen yhteinen muistomerkki stands with them on the same ground.
Where is Vasaramäki?
Vasaramäki spreads southeast of Turku's centre inside the Uittamo-Skanssi ward, low-density ground where Flowpark and Pyhän Ristin kappeli stand.
