Protected building

Pulsan rautatieasema-alue

About this site

Pulsa has an exceptionally diverse building stock, even though much has already been demolished (a residential building burned in 1997, a water tower, a goods warehouse, etc.). In addition to the station building, built in 1870 and extended on a couple of occasions, there are four residential buildings of different ages on the hillside, with their outbuildings in their own yard enclosures. In total there are 21 buildings. In addition to the station area, the immediate surroundings contain the pump station operator's residential house and a watchman's cottage on the shore of Latvanen lake. The Pro Pulsa association was founded to preserve the station village. The station buildings housed a rehabilitation home for substance abusers for nearly two decades, which renovated the park and buildings from 1994. Since the rehabilitation home's operations ceased, the area has passed into private ownership.
