Kaunisnurmi Museum and Handicraft Quarter
|
The old wooden house area in the Kaunisnurmi quarter has been preserved as a memory of Kouvola's railroad history. The area is situated close to the city centre, next to the Kouvola House. Most of the houses were built in the beginning of the 20th century as dwellings for engine drivers. Now the beautifully renovated houses serve as workshops for artisans and artists, and as shops and museums which display the history of the town. |
