Walking around Old town of Rauma, July 2021, Finland. Town of Rauma was founded in 1442. Old Rauma (Finnish: Vanha Rauma, Swedish: Gamla Raumo) is the wooden city centre of the town of Rauma. It is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site recognising its unique character as an outstanding example of a living and well preserved historic Nordic wooden town, of which it is the largest in the Nordic countries..
The area of Old Rauma has approximately six hundred buildings. The town of Rauma expanded outside the Old Rauma proper only in the early 19th century. The neo-renaissance style of many of the houses is a result of prosperity brought on by seafaring. The oldest buildings date from the 18th century, as two fires of 1640 and 1682 destroyed the town. Most buildings are currently inhabited and owned by private individuals.
