Kaarlenholvi, Restaurant complex in Oulu, Finland.
Kaarlenholvi is a restaurant complex housed in a cream-colored neoclassical building with two floors, an outdoor patio, and multiple indoor spaces. The establishment contains Bar Kaarlenholvi and Jumpru Pub, which together offer different entertainment areas with varied atmospheres.
The building dates from the late 1700s and once served as a military field hospital during the conflict between Sweden and Russia from 1808 to 1809. This military past shaped the structure before it became a social gathering place.
The venue is known for its music culture, where visitors can play a piano and live performances happen regularly. The spaces serve as a gathering point for different groups who come to share music and socialize.
The venue operates throughout the week, with both bars and the pub serving from afternoon into late hours. The building features an outdoor patio area, so visitors can easily move between indoor and outdoor spaces.
The name Kaarlenholvi honors King Charles IX of Sweden, who founded the city of Oulu in 1605. This connection to the city's royal origins remains embedded in the place's name today.
