Väinö Linna Square
Square in Tampere, FinlandThe Väinö Linna Square is a courtyard-type square at the Finlayson's old factory area in Tampere, Finland. It is part of the Tammerkoski rapids' industrial landscape, which in 2009 was classified by the Finnish Heritage Agency as a nationally significant built cultural environment. Today, the buildings surrounding the square include the Werstas Labour Museum and Mehiläinen Private Hospital. The oldest building in the square is the six-storey old factory called Kuusivooninkinen (1837), which was Finland's first modern factory building. In 1995, the square was named after Väinö Linna. Linna, who was later known as a very significant writer, had formerly worked in that building for a couple of years, before his conscription into the army in 1940.
