Nykarleby

Few towns in mainland Finland have a history as closely tied to Gulf of Bothnia seafaring and trade as Nykarleby. This small, predominantly Swedish-speaking town lies on the Lapuanjoki, known in Swedish as Lappo å, near its outlet to the gulf. Granted town status in 1620, Nykarleby retains older districts that reflect the wooden-building tradition of the Ostrobothnian coast. Finnish-Swedish author, historian and journalist Zachris Topelius was born here in 1818, and his childhood home, Kuddnäs, is now a museum.
