Herrainmäki, Public park in Tampella district, Tampere, Finland.
Herrainmäki is a rocky hill standing as the highest point in downtown Tampere. The site holds five historical buildings and traditional gardens with old fruit trees and planted areas spread across the slopes.
The hill served as a residential area for managers of the nearby Tampella factory. Buildings on the site were constructed between 1860 and 1963, reflecting the architectural styles of those different decades.
The park contains five protected buildings that represent different architectural periods, from 19th-century designs to mid-20th-century construction methods.
The hill is accessible by stairs from Pellavantori square. A nature trail winds through the area and links to the nearby Tammerkoski waterfront and beach.
The park maintains its original apple trees and garden plants from former residential properties, creating a natural museum of historical vegetation patterns.
