- the historical town to escape the Great Fire 1827

Luostarinmäki Handicrafts Museum

The Great Fire of Turku devastated most of the town in 1827, and Luostarinmäki hill was one of the few places to escape unscathed. Today the historical town provides a genuine setting for the Handicrafts Museum. The area comprises some 30 workshops, which illustrate the trades and way of life in the pre-industrial era. 

Artisans work in the shops during the summer and there are theme weeks and exhibitions as well. There is a post office and two shops at Luostarinmäki hill selling the wares made at the museum.
