Why visit
The former barracks area of Oulu's 14th reserve company carries you back to the 1880s: the red-painted log barracks were completed in 1882 to standard plans, their white trim still clearly drawn against the walls.
Look for: Notice how the cladding shifts from horizontal boarding up to the eaves line to vertical batten boarding in the gable triangles — the same detail recurs across these barracks built to standard plans.
