Kansallis-Osake-Pankki, Oulu

The Kansallis-Osake-Pankki building features granite walls, decorated windows, and architectural elements characteristic of the National Romantic style of northern European design.

Constructed in 1900 by the architectural firm Nyström-Petrelius-Penttilä, the building operated as a financial institution until its demolition in 1960.

The establishment of Kansallis-Osake-Pankki represented the Finnish language movement's efforts to create banking services independent from Swedish-speaking institutions.

Located at the intersection of Pakkahuoneenkatu and Kirkkokatu streets in Pokkinen district, the bank served local residents and businesses until the mid-twentieth century.

The building's design incorporated specific architectural elements that reflected Finland's growing national identity at the turn of the twentieth century.
