Åbo Akademi University Main Building

The house, designed by Charles Bassi, was built between 1831 and 1838 for weighmaster Johan Christian Trapp. The foundation purchased the property in 1917, and in this building Åbo Akademi University began its operations in 1919. In the early years, the space was shared with cafés, bakeries, and bookbinderies. The building has undergone several renovations and remodels over the years.
