Unique Old Nordic Wooden Town - Walking in the Unesco World Heritage site of Old Rauma (July 2022)

(4K) Old Rauma is the largest unified historical wooden town in the Nordic countries. It was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1991 because of its unique wooden architecture and its well-preserved medieval town layout.

Old Rauma is an extensive, uniform wood-build town dating back to the Middle Ages. Old Rauma is a living town district where historical heritage lives on in perfect harmony with modern commerce and local residents. You´ll find an ample range of high-quality cafes, restaurants and charming little boutiques there. The idyllic ambience is complemented by museums, lovely gardens, the market place and the impressive medieval Church of the Holy Cross.

The area of Old Rauma is about 0.3 km2, with approximately six hundred buildings (counting both proper houses and smaller buildings like sheds) and about 800 people living in the area. The oldest buildings date from the 18th century, as two fires in 1640 and 1682 destroyed much of the town. However, the layout of the town center still retains much of its medieval structure.
