Ekenäs, Coastal municipality in Uusimaa, Finland

Ekenäs extends over 726 square kilometers of land along the southern Finnish coast, featuring numerous islands and maritime connections throughout the region.

The town center contains numerous wooden buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries, with strict preservation regulations maintaining their historical architecture.

The population of 14,754 residents primarily speaks Swedish at 81 percent, while Finnish speakers represent 17 percent of local inhabitants.

Bio Forum, established in 1912 in an Art Nouveau building within the old town center, stands as Finland's oldest operating movie theater.
