Protected building

Linnankatu 74, 76

Turku

Why visit

Two dwelling houses stand where Turku's harbour railway meets Linnankatu, close to Turku Castle. On their greening plots they form a pleasing pair, on a site of real significance to the city's history.

Look for: One of the houses is probably marked on the rail-profile map drawn after the harbour railway was completed in 1876 — a small trace tying the house to the line's beginnings.

About this site

Two residential buildings situated along Linnankatu at the intersection of the Turku harbour railway and the street, close to Turku Castle. They are located on a site of urban historical significance and form an attractive pair with their green plots. One of the buildings (Linnankatu 62) is probably marked on a track profile map made after the completion of the harbour railway built in 1876.

The same building was transferred to the Turku City Real Estate Department in 1991. Linnankatu 64 is also owned by the city and is in use by the port authority.
