Uusikaupunki, Coastal municipality in Finland Proper, Finland

The municipality covers 551 square kilometers, including 49 square kilometers of inland water, located 71 kilometers northwest of Turku city center.

King Gustav II Adolf established this settlement in 1617, transforming the fishing village of Kalainen into an important trading port for wooden goods.

The municipality preserves Empire-style wooden house blocks from the 1649 town plan, with 27 residential areas in the central district.

Two harbors, Hepokari and Yara, provide maritime access through 7-meter and 10-meter fairways, while a guest marina operates at Pakkahuone.

The Bonk Centre exhibits products from an imaginary industrial corporation, creating an experimental museum experience within the municipality.
