Hi,
There is aslo a place in the town called as
Obeliski Keisarinnan Kioi I believe where
the imperial eagle has been destructed at the time of the revolution
have been replaced in 1972...but I can not find a picture of it...sorry,if some are more gifted than I seems to be...
This time,I will stresses the russian aspect of Finland and so outside Helsinki...
There is ,first of all:there is the
Finlaysonin Palatsi.This building is better known among the people of Tampere as the "Little Palace". Designed by Frekrik Thesleff, it was built in 1897 to be the home of Finlayson factory superintendent Christian Bruun. The Finlayson Palace is extremely decorative, and represents the Neo-Renaissance style. The facade has been kept almost intact: only some of the plaster sculptures and decorations have been damaged in the course of time. The palace's office building now houses restaurant Alexanderin Palatsi.
During his reign Alexander II and his court have slept there (I do not know if it was ocasionnaly or a reccurent thing)more on the link
