沿著河畔,是眺望對岸紅色木屋的最佳景點。

Porvoo建城於13世紀,詳細年代已不可考,但據信是僅次於Turku的第二古城,直到十四世紀(1346年)才被賦予town right[註]。因貿易而繁華的Porvoo,德國籍的商人從南方運來了水果、美酒與香料,再將北方的奶油、魚乾、木材,經過塔林(Tallinn)運往中歐,當時的交易,便是在河畔的黑頂紅木屋(read shore house)中進行的。

現在的紅木屋,褪去了銅臭味,搖身一變為倉庫與私人住宅,以及最能代表Porvoo的景色之一。

摘錄部份原文於下:Six towns were established in Finland during the Middle Ages. Some of them grew to be towns without any official order having been issued. This was the case with Porvoo, which got the town rights after Turku in the 14th century. The story tells that in 1346 Maunu Eerikinpoika (Magnus Eriksson), then the King of Sweden, visited Porvoo and granted the town rights there and then.
